There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes - especially when it comes to global reclaim. How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec. Document that in a comment. Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper that suggests it's a commonly accessed member. While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second. I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
