I think this one is......hopefully. == In general, mem_cgroup's charge on ANON page is removed when page_remove_rmap() is called. At migration, the newpage is remapped again by remove_migration_ptes(). But pte may be already changed (by task exits). It is charged at page allocation but have no chance to be uncharged in that case because it is never added to rmap. Handle that corner case in mem_cgroup_end_migration().
