[PATCH v2 2/2] mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter

[Ridong <ridong.chen@linux.dev>]

From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xiaomi.com>

sc_swappiness() had two separate definitions depending on
CONFIG_MEMCG. The !CONFIG_MEMCG variant simply returned
vm_swappiness, ignoring the proactive_swappiness value passed
through scan_control. This caused the swappiness parameter
written to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim to have no
effect when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled.

Fix this by consolidating sc_swappiness() into a single definition
that checks sc->proactive_swappiness first, then falls back to
mem_cgroup_swappiness() which already handles both CONFIG_MEMCG
and !CONFIG_MEMCG.

Before fix (swappiness=max ignored, mostly file pages reclaimed):

    # cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
    60
    # cat /proc/vmstat | grep pgsteal
    pgsteal_kswapd 0
    pgsteal_direct 0
    pgsteal_khugepaged 0
    pgsteal_proactive 1840
    pgsteal_anon 25
    pgsteal_file 1815
    # echo "64M swappiness=max" > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/reclaim
    # cat /proc/vmstat | grep pgsteal
    pgsteal_kswapd 0
    pgsteal_direct 0
    pgsteal_khugepaged 0
    pgsteal_proactive 18013
    pgsteal_anon 337
    pgsteal_file 17676

After fix (swappiness=max honored, anon pages reclaimed as expected):

    # cat /proc/vmstat | grep pgsteal
    pgsteal_kswapd 0
    pgsteal_direct 0
    pgsteal_khugepaged 0
    pgsteal_proactive 0
    pgsteal_anon 0
    pgsteal_file 0
    # echo "64M swappiness=max" > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/reclaim
    # cat /proc/vmstat | grep pgsteal
    pgsteal_kswapd 0
    pgsteal_direct 0
    pgsteal_khugepaged 0
    pgsteal_proactive 16283
    pgsteal_anon 16283
    pgsteal_file 0
