Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] mm: zswap: mark the zswap shrinker SHRINKER_NONSLAB
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:12:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013031221.1997194-6-qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013031221.1997194-1-qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com>

With kmem accounting disabled (cgroup.memory=nokmem), memcg reclaim
never invokes the zswap shrinker: a cgroup under memory pressure does
not write back its own zswapped pages to make room; they are only
written back by global reclaim or once the global pool limit kicks in.

The zswap shrinker is registered memcg-aware but without
SHRINKER_NONSLAB, so under nokmem it is treated as a slab shrinker:
before commit 03375203e1da ("mm: do not allocate shrinker info with
cgroup.memory=nokmem") it was skipped by the !memcg_kmem_online()
check in shrink_slab_memcg(); since that commit it is demoted to
non-memcg-aware at registration.  But the zswap shrinker is not a slab
shrinker: it tracks zswap entries and resolves the owning memcg from
the folio's objcg, independent of kmem accounting.

This was noticed by Michal during review of the patch "mm/list_lru:
don't copy stale shrinker id from non-memcg-aware shrinkers".

Mark it SHRINKER_NONSLAB so it keeps its memcg awareness and runs
under memcg reclaim with nokmem.
