So, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on a shared workqueue doesn't make much sense.
That flag guarantees single concurrency level to the workqueue. How
would multiple users of a shared workqueue coordinate around that?
What prevents one events_mem_unbound user from depending on, say,
draining lru? If lru draining requires a rescuer to guarantee forward
progress under memory pressure, that rescuer worker must be dedicated
for that purpose and can't be shared.
Thanks.
