Mel,

Reviewing this patch a bit more, I realize that there is a chance that the removed
next_mz could be inserted back to the tree from a memcg_check_events
that happen in between. So we need to make sure that the next_mz
is indeed off the tree and update the excess value before adding it
back. Update the patch to the patch below.

Thanks.

Tim

During soft limit memory reclaim, we will temporarily remove the target
mem cgroup from the cgroup soft limit tree. We then perform memory
reclaim, update the memory usage excess count and re-insert the mem
cgroup back into the mem cgroup soft limit tree according to the new
memory usage excess count.

However, when memory reclaim failed for a maximum number of attempts
and we bail out of the reclaim loop, we forgot to put the target mem
cgroup chosen for next reclaim back to the soft limit tree. This prevented
pages in the mem cgroup from being reclaimed in the future even though
the mem cgroup exceeded its soft limit. Fix the logic and put the mem
cgroup back on the tree when page reclaim failed for the mem cgroup.

Fixes: 4e41695356fb ("memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contention")
