memcg: simplify corner case handling of LRU.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch simplifies LRU handling of racy case (memcg+SwapCache).  At
charging, SwapCache tend to be on LRU already.  So, before overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup, the page must be removed from LRU and added to LRU
later.

This patch does
        spin_lock(zone->lru_lock);
        if (PageLRU(page))
                remove from LRU
        overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
        if (PageLRU(page))
                add to new LRU.
        spin_unlock(zone->lru_lock);

And guarantee all pages are not on LRU at modifying pc->mem_cgroup.
This patch also unfies lru handling of replace_page_cache() and
swapin.
