Subject: [PATCH 4.4 110/312] net: tcp_memcontrol: properly detect ancestor socket pressure

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>

commit 8c2c2358b236530bc2c79b4c2a447cbdbc3d96d7 upstream.

When charging socket memory, the code currently checks only the local
page counter for excess to determine whether the memcg is under socket
pressure.  But even if the local counter is fine, one of the ancestors
could have breached its limit, which should also force this child to
enter socket pressure.  This currently doesn't happen.

Fix this by using page_counter_try_charge() first.  If that fails, it
means that either the local counter or one of the ancestors are in
excess of their limit, and the child should enter socket pressure.

Fixes: 3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")
