Subject: [PATCH v1] mm:memcg: skip memcg of current in mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
Date:   Fri,  3 Aug 2018 13:48:05 +0800
Message-Id: <1533275285-12387-1-git-send-email-zhaoyang.huang@spreadtrum.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

for the soft_limit reclaim has more directivity than global reclaim, we
have current memcg be skipped to avoid potential page thrashing.
