No. Just freeing pages, which are usually freed is good.

int mem_cgroup_canreclaim(struct page *page, struct mem_cgroup *mem1,

struct page_cgroup *pc;
int result = 1;
if (mem1 != NULL)

Maybe min_usage can works as *soft* mlock by this.
Or another idea.
Making memory.min_usage as memory.reclaim_priority_level and allows
priority_level == 0 => can_reclaim() returns 1 always.
priority_level == 1 => can_reclaim returns 1 if priority < DEF_PRIORITY-1.
priority_level == 2 => can_reclaim returns 1 if priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2.
(and only 0,1,2 are allowed.)
setting min_usage will not be prefered by lru management people.
This can work as "advice" to global lru.
Hmm ?
