Yu Zhao 30d77b7eef mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation
mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is not stateless and should only be used
as part of a top-down tree traversal.  shrink_one() traverses the per-node
memcg LRU instead of the root_mem_cgroup tree, and therefore it should not
call mem_cgroup_calculate_protection().

The existing misuse in shrink_one() can cause ineffective protection of
sub-trees that are grandchildren of root_mem_cgroup.  Fix it by reusing
lru_gen_age_node(), which already traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree, to
calculate the protection.

Previously lru_gen_age_node() opportunistically skips the first pass,
i.e., when scan_control->priority is DEF_PRIORITY.  On the second pass,
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority, set by
set_initial_priority() from lru_gen_shrink_node(), to decide whether a
memcg is too small to reclaim from.

Now lru_gen_age_node() unconditionally traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree.
So it should call set_initial_priority() upfront, to make sure
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority on the first
pass.  Otherwise, lruvec_is_reclaimable() can return false negatives and
result in premature OOM kills when min_ttl_ms is used.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
