memcg: fix swap accounting leak
Fix swapin charge operation of memcg. Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really unused or not. That check depends on contents of struct page. I.e. If PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as still-in-use. Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence (Page fault with WRITE) try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE) commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..) reuse_swap_page() -> delete_from_swapcache() -> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE) ...... New charge is uncharged soon.... To avoid this, move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1. By this, try_charge() (usage += PAGESIZE) reuse_swap_page() (may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set) commit_charge() (If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED, add new charge.) Accounting will be correct. Changelog (v2) -> (v3) - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0. - updated documentation. Changelog (v1) -> (v2) - fixed comment.
