We, at Google, have been using per-memcg lru locks for more than 7
years. Per-memcg lru locks are really beneficial for providing
performance isolation if there are multiple distinct jobs/memcgs
running on large machines. We are planning to upstream our internal
implementation. I will let Hugh comment on that.
