mm: thp: optimize memcg charge in khugepaged
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We don't need to hold the mmmap_sem through mem_cgroup_newpage_charge(),
the mmap_sem is only hold for keeping the vma stable and we don't need the
vma stable anymore after we return from alloc_hugepage_vma().
