I don't read full story but....how about adding a new syscall like
==
sys_mem_shrink(int nid, int nr_scan_pages, int flags)
This system call scans LRU of specified nodes and free pages on LRU.
This scan nr_scan_pages in LRU and returns the number of successfully
freed pages.
==
Then, running this progam in SCHED_IDLE, a user can make free pages while
the system is idle. If running in the highest priority, a user can keep
free pages as he want. If a user run this under a memcg, user can free
pages in a memcg.
Maybe many guys don't want to export memory-shrink facility to userland ;)
This is just an idea.
Thanks,
