It looks like list_lru_count() is iterating per node before iterating
over all memory
cgroups as below -

unsigned long list_lru_count_node(struct list_lru *lru, int nid)
{
long count = 0;
int memcg_idx;

count += __list_lru_count_one(lru, nid, -1);
if (list_lru_memcg_aware(lru)) {
for_each_memcg_cache_index(memcg_idx)
count += __list_lru_count_one(lru, nid, memcg_idx);
}
return count;
}

The first call to __list_lru_count_one() is iterating all the items per
node i.e, nlru->lru->nr_items.
Is my understanding correct? If not, could you please clarify on how to
get the lru items per node?
