Subject[PATCH -V11 8/9] mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg reclaim
Date
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Global reclaim aims to reduce the amount of memory used on a given node or
set of nodes. Migrating pages to another node serves this purpose.

memcg reclaim is different. Its goal is to reduce the total memory
consumption of the entire memcg, across all nodes. Migration does not
assist memcg reclaim because it just moves page contents between nodes
rather than actually reducing memory consumption.
