From: Ridong Chen It has been observed that per-node proactive reclaim always returns -EAGAIN when any error occurs. As discussed in the mailing list [1], the interface should distinguish between cases where no reclaimable memory is left and where another entity is concurrently using the same interface. Propagate the real error code, consistent with how memcg proactive reclaim handles errors.
