[PATCH] mm: remove '!root_reclaim' checking in should_abort_scan()

[zhaoyang.huang]

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Nowadays, ANDROID system replaces madivse with memory.reclaim to implement
user space memory management which desires to reclaim a certain amount of
memcg's memory. However, oversized reclaiming and high latency are observed
as there is no limitation over nr_reclaimed inside try_to_shrink_lruvec
when MGLRU enabled. Besides, this could also affect all none root_reclaim
such as reclaim_high etc.
Since the commit 'b82b530740b9' ("mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup
iteration") introduces sc->memcg_full_walk to limit the walk range of
mem_cgroup_iter and keep the fairness among the descendants of one memcg.
This commit would like to make single memcg's scanning more precised by
removing the criteria of 'if (!root_reclaim)' inside
should_abort_scan().
