Subject: memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4fd14ebf6e3b66423dfac2bc9defda7b83ee07b3;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim

If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.

Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
on this non-zero return value trick.

This patch removes it.  The reclaim code will now always return the true
number of pages it reclaimed on its own.
