Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version:
If we want to change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have
to serialize mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. The
possible bad scenario would like:

	cpu 0					cpu 1
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec()
					if (!isolate_lru_page())
						mem_cgroup_move_account

spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock.

So we need the ClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), then serialize
the memcg change here.

It seems better to open code version in lru_add than adding a bool
argument which is true just for one user.

Also with this new lru protection logic lru_add could be optimized:
It could prepare a list of pages and under lru_lock do only list
splice and bumping counter.
Since PageLRU isn't set yet nobody could touch these pages in lru.
After that lru_add could iterate pages from first to last without
lru_lock to set PageLRU and drop reference.

So, lru_add will do O(1) operations under lru_lock regardless of the
count of pages it added.

Actually per-cpu vector for adding could be replaced with per-cpu
lists and\or per-lruvec atomic slist.
Thus incommig pages will be already in list structure rather than page vector.
This allows to accumulate more pages and offload adding to kswapd or
direct reclaim.

Right, I will rewrite this part as your suggestion. Thanks!

That's a great idea! Guess what the new struct we need would be like this?
I like to try this. :)

pagevecs are used not just for LRU.  If you want to use a list_head for
LRU then define a new structure.

yes, there are much page don't use page->lru, like slab etc. we need a new struct.

That's not what I mean.  Slab pages aren't on the LRU anyway.

Consider the callers of page_cache_delete_batch().  These use a pagevec
for a non-LRU purpose, and they will be much slower with a list_head than
with an array.

Right. I mean, that's reason for a new struct if we change to list.

Thanks for the info.
If the list is slower than pagevec, maybe it's not worth to do the change.
Since pagevec could handle any kind of pages, anon/file, non-active/active, but one
list only fit for just one kind of list. 5 kinds of list adding would increase the
complexity. Consider this, I am wondering if it's worth?

Thanks
