Well, this needs a decision. Actually who should be charged for
swap IO has multiple options.
(1) root cgroup
(2) page owner
(3) memory hogger who triggered swap
The choice of this patch is (2). However, I agree that there is no
concrete rationale to select (2) but (3), and (1) is the simplest
and the best for performance.
Alright, I will remove anonymous pages from tracking target.
Thanks,
