Subject[PATCH] memcg: schedule high reclaim for remote memcgs on high_work
From
If a memcg is over high limit, memory reclaim is scheduled to run on
return-to-userland. However it is assumed that the memcg is the current
process's memcg. With remote memcg charging for kmem or swapping in a
page charged to remote memcg, current process can trigger reclaim on
remote memcg. So, schduling reclaim on return-to-userland for remote
memcgs will ignore the high reclaim altogether. So, punt the high
reclaim of remote memcgs to high_work.
