memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit path
Commit d149e3b25d7c ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct
reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit
is called as
try_to_free_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages()
shrink_zones()
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()
Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now.
But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker.
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages()
shrink_zones()
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()
This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit.
This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when
scanning_global_lru(sc) == true.
And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit
scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and
update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s
scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this
change makes sense.
TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.
