[PATCH] mm: vmscan: fix memcg-aware shrinkers not called on global reclaim

[Vladimir Davydov]

We must call shrink_slab() for each memory cgroup on both global and
memcg reclaim in shrink_node_memcg(). Commit d71df22b55099 accidentally
changed that so that now shrink_slab() is only called with memcg != NULL
on memcg reclaim. As a result, memcg-aware shrinkers (including
dentry/inode) are never invoked on global reclaim. Fix that.

I guess you meant b2e18757f2c9. I do not see d71df22b55099 anywhere.

I'm basing on top of v4.7-mmotm-2016-07-28-16-33 and there it's
d71df22b55099.

But this sha is unstable. THe patch you are referring to is already
sitting in the Linus tree so please use his (stable sha instead).

Ouch, I missed that in the review. The change looked so obviously
correct, but the shrink_slab() interface is a little deceiving. It
would be great if shrink_slab() could handle root_mem_cgroup/NULL and
then we'd always call it from inside the loop. But AFAICS we need the
global call to get the cumulative scanned/lru_pages ratio from all of
the memcgs reclaimed... grr. Oh well.

This fix looks correct to me, anyway.
