Can you help me understand where the code makes this behavior change?
As far as I can tell, the patch just allows swap off to use the code
path to avoid read ahead and avoid swap cache path. I haven't figured
out where the code makes the swapin charge to B.
Does it need to be ZRAM? Will zswap or SSD work in your example?

As discussed in another email, this behavior change is against the
current memcg memory charging model.
Better separate out this behavior change with code clean up.

At this point the function name "swapin_readahead" does not match what
it does any more. Because readahead is just one of the behaviors it
does. It also can do without readahead. It needs a better name. This
function becomes a generic swapin_entry.

Notice that which flavor of swapin_read is actually a property of the
swap device.
For that device, it always calls the same swapin_entry function.
One idea is to have a VFS-like API for swap devices. This can be a
swapin_entry function callback from the swap_ops struct. Difference
swap devices just register different swapin_entry hooks. That way we
don't need to look at the device flags to decide what to do. We can
just call the VFS like swap_ops->swapin_entry(), the function pointer
will point to the right implementation. Then we don't need these three
levels if/else block. It is more flexible to register custom
implementations of swap layouts as well. Something to consider for the
future, you don't have to implement it in this series.
