Recall that the aging produces the youngest generation: first it scans for accessed folios and updates their gen counters; then it increments lrugen->max_seq. The current aging fairness safeguard for kswapd uses two passes to ensure the fairness to multiple eligible memcgs. On the first pass, which is shared with the eviction, it checks whether all eligible memcgs are low on cold folios. If so, it requires a second pass, on which it ages all those memcgs at the same time. With memcg LRU, the aging, while ensuring eventual fairness, will run when necessary. Therefore the current aging fairness safeguard for kswapd will not be needed. Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim, the aging can be unfair to different memcgs, i.e., their lrugen->max_seq can be incremented at different paces.
