Subject: mm/vmscan: reclaim every zone in per-node proactive reclaim
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:50:02 -0400

user_proactive_reclaim() limits per-node reclaim to
gfp_zone(GFP_KERNEL), which is ZONE_NORMAL. Proactive reclaim serves no
allocation, but that limit makes shrink_node() skip every ZONE_MOVABLE
folio, so writing to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/reclaim never
reclaims a node's movable memory. A movable-only node, such as dax/kmem
or hotplugged memory onlined movable, reclaims nothing and fails with
-EAGAIN.

To reproduce, fill a movable-only node with clean page cache and write
200M to its nodeN/reclaim: the write fails with -EAGAIN and the page
cache stays. The same write to a ZONE_NORMAL node frees 200MB.

Scan every zone, as memory.reclaim does.
