Subject: [patch 01/11] mm: memcg: fix compaction/migration failing due to memcg limits
Compaction (and page migration in general) can currently be hindered
through pages being owned by memory cgroups that are at their limits
and unreclaimable.
The reason is that the replacement page is being charged against the
limit while the page being replaced is also still charged. But this
seems unnecessary, given that only one of the two pages will still be
in use after migration finishes.
This patch changes the memcg migration sequence so that the
replacement page is not charged. Whatever page is still in use after
successful or failed migration gets to keep the charge of the page
that was going to be replaced.
