thp: transhuge-memcg: commit tail pages at charge
By this patch, when a transparent hugepage is charged, not only the head
page but also all the tail pages are committed, IOW pc->mem_cgroup and
pc->flags of tail pages are set.
Without this patch:
- Tail pages are not linked to any memcg's LRU at splitting. This causes many
problems, for example, the charged memcg's directory can never be rmdir'ed
because it doesn't have enough pages to scan to make the usage decrease to 0.
- "rss" field in memory.stat would be incorrect. Moreover, usage_in_bytes in
root cgroup is calculated by the stat not by res_counter(since 2.6.32),
it would be incorrect too.
