Subject: [PATCH] mm: Restore per-memcg proactive reclaim with !CONFIG_NUMA
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:52:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116205247.928004-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
Commit 2b7226af730c ("mm/memcg: make memory.reclaim interface generic")
moved proactive reclaim logic from memory.reclaim handler to a generic
user_proactive_reclaim() helper to be used for per-node proactive
reclaim.
However, user_proactive_reclaim() was only defined under CONFIG_NUMA,
with a stub always returning 0 otherwise. This broke memory.reclaim on
!CONFIG_NUMA configs, causing it to report success without actually
attempting reclaim.
Move the definition of user_proactive_reclaim() outside CONFIG_NUMA, and
instead define a stub for __node_reclaim() in the !CONFIG_NUMA case.
__node_reclaim() is only called from user_proactive_reclaim() when a
write is made to sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim, which is only
defined with CONFIG_NUMA.
