A swappiness of 0 has a slightly different meaning for global reclaim
(may swap if file cache really low) and memory cgroup reclaim (never
swap, ever).
In addition, global reclaim at highest priority will scan all LRU lists
equal to their size and ignore other balancing heuristics. UNLESS
swappiness forbids swapping, then the lists are balanced based on recent
reclaim effectiveness. UNLESS file cache is running low, then anonymous
pages are force-scanned.
This (total mess of a) behaviour is implicit and not obvious from the
way the code is organized. At least make it apparent in the code flow
and document the conditions. It will be it easier to come up with sane
semantics later.
