With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.
