memcg: simple migration handling
Now, management of "charge" under page migration is done under following
manner. (Assume migrate page contents from oldpage to newpage)
before
- "newpage" is charged before migration.
at success.
- "oldpage" is uncharged at somewhere(unmap, radix-tree-replace)
at failure
- "newpage" is uncharged.
- "oldpage" is charged if necessary (*1)
But (*1) is not reliable....because of GFP_ATOMIC.
This patch tries to change behavior as following by charge/commit/cancel ops.
before
- charge PAGE_SIZE (no target page)
success
- commit charge against "newpage".
failure
- commit charge against "oldpage".
(PCG_USED bit works effectively to avoid double-counting)
- if "oldpage" is obsolete, cancel charge of PAGE_SIZE.
