Recall that the per-node memcg LRU has two generations and they alternate
when the last memcg (of a given node) is moved from one to the other.
Each generation is also sharded into multiple bins to improve scalability.
A reclaimer starts with a random bin (in the old generation) and, if it
fails, it will retry, i.e., to try the rest of the bins.
If a reclaimer fails with the last memcg, it should move this memcg to the
young generation first, which causes the generations to alternate, and
then retry. Otherwise, the retries will be futile because all other bins
are empty.

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.
