While it extends the charge interface, I actually quite like that it charges the page earlier - before putting it into wider circulation. It's a step in the right direction. But IMO the semantics of mem_cgroup_charge_swapin_page() are a bit too fickle: the __GFP_NOFAIL in add_to_swap_cache() works around it, but having a must-not-fail-after-this line makes the code tricky to work on and error prone. It would be nicer to do a proper transaction sequence. > @@ -497,16 +497,15 @@ struct page *__read_swap_cache_async(swp_entry_t entry, gfp_t gfp_mask, > __SetPageLocked(page); > __SetPageSwapBacked(page); > > - /* May fail (-ENOMEM) if XArray node allocation failed. */ > - if (add_to_swap_cache(page, entry, gfp_mask & GFP_RECLAIM_MASK, &shadow)) { > - put_swap_page(page, entry); > + if (mem_cgroup_charge_swapin_page(page, NULL, gfp_mask, entry)) > goto fail_unlock; > - } > > - if (mem_cgroup_charge(page, NULL, gfp_mask)) { > - delete_from_swap_cache(page); > - goto fail_unlock; > - } > + /* > + * Use __GFP_NOFAIL to not worry about undoing the changes done by > + * mem_cgroup_charge_swapin_page() on failure of add_to_swap_cache(). > + */ > + add_to_swap_cache(page, entry, > + (gfp_mask|__GFP_NOFAIL) & GFP_RECLAIM_MASK, &shadow); How about: mem_cgroup_charge_swapin_page() add_to_swap_cache() mem_cgroup_finish_swapin_page() where finish_swapin_page() only uncharges the swap entry (on cgroup1) once the swap->memory transition is complete? Otherwise the patch looks good to me.
