Johannes Weiner 3b991208b8 mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroups
During !CONFIG_CGROUP reclaim, we expand the inactive list size if it's
thrashing on the node that is about to be reclaimed.  But when cgroups
are enabled, we suddenly ignore the node scope and use the cgroup scope
only.  The result is that pressure bleeds between NUMA nodes depending
on whether cgroups are merely compiled into Linux.  This behavioral
difference is unexpected and undesirable.

When the refault adaptivity of the inactive list was first introduced,
there were no statistics at the lruvec level - the intersection of node
and memcg - so it was better than nothing.

But now that we have that infrastructure, use lruvec_page_state() to
make the list balancing decision always NUMA aware.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
