[patch 7/8] vmscan: memcg-aware unevictable page rescue scanner

Johannes Weiner
2011-06-01T06:27:19Z

Once the per-memcg lru lists are exclusive, the unevictable page
rescue scanner can no longer work on the global zone lru lists.

This converts it to go through all memcgs and scan their respective
unevictable lists instead.
