Documentation/controllers/memory.txt is good guide :)

<abstract>
try_to_free_pages():	         global reclaim entry point
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages():  memcgroup reclaim entry point
do_try_to_free_pages():	         common layer


Unfortunately, I don't know your requirement and
memcgroup reclaim shold be mesured.
I hope you explain your purpose and benefit more.

Thanks.
