[PATCH -mm -v3 09/12] memcg, THP, swap: Avoid to duplicated charge THP in swap cache

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Mon Jul 24 2017 - 01:20:21 EST


From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

For a THP (Transparent Huge Page), tail_page->mem_cgroup is NULL. So
to check whether the page is charged already, we need to check the
head page. This is not an issue before because it is impossible for a
THP to be in the swap cache before. But after we add delaying
splitting THP after swapped out support, it is possible now.
