1028 * page due to IO error or disconnected storage so instead
1029 * note that the LRU is being scanned too quickly and the
1030 * caller can stall after page list has been processed.
1032 * 2) Global or new memcg reclaim encounters a page that is
1033 * not marked for immediate reclaim, or the caller does not
1034 * have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if it's simply going to swap,
1035 * not to fs). In this case mark the page for immediate
1036 * reclaim and continue scanning.
1038 * Require may_enter_fs because we would wait on fs, which
1039 * may not have submitted IO yet. And the loop driver might
1040 * enter reclaim, and deadlock if it waits on a page for
1041 * which it is needed to do the write (loop masks off
1042 * __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS for this reason); but more thought
1043 * would probably show more reasons.
1045 * 3) Legacy memcg encounters a page that is already marked
1046 * PageReclaim. memcg does not have any dirty pages
1047 * throttling so we could easily OOM just because too many
1048 * pages are in writeback and there is nothing else to
1049 * reclaim. Wait for the writeback to complete.
