Recall that the eviction consumes the oldest generation: first it bucket-sorts folios whose gen counters were updated by the aging and reclaims the rest; then it increments lrugen->min_seq. The current eviction fairness safeguard for global reclaim has a dilemma: when there are multiple eligible memcgs, should it continue or stop upon meeting the reclaim goal? If it continues, it overshoots and increases direct reclaim latency; if it stops, it loses fairness between memcgs it has taken memory away from and those it has yet to. With memcg LRU, the eviction, while ensuring eventual fairness, will stop upon meeting its goal. Therefore the current eviction fairness safeguard for global reclaim will not be needed. Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim, the eviction will continue, even if it is overshooting. This becomes unconditional due to code simplification.

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 Restructured Text 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.
