That is actually the case that I am trying to optimize for. If a system has many containers. It is also likely each container may mount one or more container specific filesystems. Since a container likely use just a few cpus, it is highly that only the list_lru_node that contains those cpus will be utilized while the rests may be empty. I got the idea of doing this patch when I was looking at a crash dump related to the list_lru code. That particular crash dump has more than 13k list_lru's and thousands of mount points. I had notice even if nr_items of a list_lru_node is 0, it still tries to transfer lru entries from source idx to dest idx. Without doing an lock/unlock and loading a cacheline from the memcg_lrus, it can save some time. That can be substantial saving if we are talking about thousands of list_lru's. Cheers, Longman
