I tried to implement it today.
this patch is made against "[PATCH -mm 13/16] No Reclaim LRU Infrastructure"


> B. race condtions.

don't worry :)
it isn't big problem.

global lru is reclaimbale and memcg lru is noreclaimable
	-> we can repair at move lru of shrink_[in]active_page().

global lru is noreclaimbale and memcg lru is reclaimable
	-> we can repair mem_cgroup_isolate_pages()
