I see, thanks!
Then we need charge migration to lock the page like I proposed. But
it's not enough: we also need to exclude isolation and putback while
we uncharge it, and make sure that if it was on the LRU it's moved to
the correct lruvec (the root memcg's):

Subject: [patch] mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API fix - page cache
migration
It was known that the target page in migration could be on the LRU -
clarify this in mem_cgroup_migrate() and correct the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE().
However, during page cache replacement, the source page can also be on
the LRU, and two things need to be considered:
1. charge moving can race and change pc->mem_cgroup from under us:
grab the page lock in mem_cgroup_move_account() to prevent that.
2. the lruvec of the page changes as we uncharge it, and putback can
race with us: grab the lru lock and isolate the page iff on LRU to
prevent races and to ensure the page is on the right lruvec afterward.
