[PATCH v3 0/2] mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim

[Ridong Chen]

From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xxxxxxxxxx>

For MGLRU, memory.min/low is not honored during non-kswapd global
reclaim (global direct reclaim and root-level memory.reclaim), because
these paths shrink memcgs using stale effective protection (emin/elow).

Patch 2 is the actual fix. Patch 1 is a prerequisite: an integer overflow
in effective_protection(), spotted by the sashiko review tool, which
patch 2's new caller would also be exposed to.

v3:
- Per Barry Song's review comments

v2:
- Fix an issue caused by non-atomic read races in patch 1 [1]
