But on the other side you increase the size of struct list_lru_per_memcg,
so if number of cgroups is close to memcg_nr_cache_ids, we can actually
waste more memory. I'm not saying the change is not worth it, but would be
nice to add some real-world numbers.

Or it's all irrelevant and is done as a preparation to the conversion to xarray?
If so, please, make it clear.

Thanks!
