Subject[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: drain memcg stock on force_empty
Date
From: Junaid Shahid <junaids@google.com>

The per-cpu memcg stock can retain a charge of upto 32 pages. On a
machine with large number of cpus, this can amount to a decent amount
of memory. Additionally force_empty interface might be triggering
unneeded memcg reclaims.
