Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/4] memcg: simplify corner case handling of LRU and

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] memcg: simplify corner case handling of LRU and charge races.
This patch simplifies LRU handling of racy case (memcg+SwapCache).
At charging, SwapCache tend to be on LRU already. So, before
overwriting pc->mem_cgroup, the page must be removed from LRU and
added to LRU later.
This patch does
spin_lock(zone->lru_lock);
if (PageLRU(page))
remove from LRU
overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
if (PageLRU(page))
add to new LRU.
spin_unlock(zone->lru_lock);
