[PATCH -mm -v3 08/12] memcg, THP, swap: Support move mem cgroup charge for THP swapped out

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Mon Jul 24 2017 - 01:21:05 EST


From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

PTE mapped THP (Transparent Huge Page) will be ignored when moving
memory cgroup charge. But for THP which is in the swap cache, the
memory cgroup charge for the swap of a tail-page may be moved in
current implementation. That isn't correct, because the swap charge
for all sub-pages of a THP should be moved together. Following the
processing of the PTE mapped THP, the mem cgroup charge moving for the
swap entry for a tail-page of a THP is ignored too.
