SubjectRe: [PATCH REBASED] mm, memcg: Make scan aggression always exclude protection

Are you certain? If so, I don't see what you mean. This is how the code looks
in Linus' tree after the fixups:

unsigned long cgroup_size = mem_cgroup_size(memcg);
unsigned long baseline = 0;

if (!sc->memcg_low_reclaim)
baseline = lruvec_size;
scan = lruvec_size * cgroup_size / protection - baseline;

This works correctly as far as I can tell:

low reclaim case:

In [1]: cgroup_size=50; lruvec_size=10; protection=2000; baseline=0; lruvec_size * cgroup_size // protection - baseline
Out[1]: 0

normal case:

In [2]: cgroup_size=3000; lruvec_size=10; protection=2000; baseline=lruvec_size; lruvec_size * cgroup_size // protection - baseline
Out[2]: 5
