SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 6/9] mm: multigenerational lru: aging
I am still reading through the series. It is a lot of code and quite
hard to wrap ones head around so these are mostly random things I have
run into. More will likely follow up.

This should go into a separate patch and merge it independently. I
haven't really realized that !MEMCG configuration has a different
locking scopes.

I do not like this. These are internal oom reaper's and no code should
really make any decisions based on that. oom_reaping_in_progress is not
telling much anyway. This is a global queue for oom reaper that can
contain oom victims from different oom scopes (e.g. global OOM, memcg
OOM or memory policy OOM).

Your lru_gen_age_node uses this to decide whether to trigger
out_of_memory and that is clearly wrong for the above reasons.
out_of_memory is designed to skip over any action if there is an oom
victim pending from the oom domain (have a look at oom_evaluate_task).

mem_cgroup_below_min requires effective values to be calculated for the
reclaimed hierarchy. Have a look at mem_cgroup_calculate_protection
