    mm/memcg: fix refcount error while moving and swapping · 8d22a935
    Hugh Dickins authored
    It was hard to keep a test running, moving tasks between memcgs with
    move_charge_at_immigrate, while swapping: mem_cgroup_id_get_many()'s
    refcount is discovered to be 0 (supposedly impossible), so it is then
    forced to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and after thousands of warnings in quick
    succession, the test is at last put out of misery by being OOM killed.
    
    This is because of the way moved_swap accounting was saved up until the
    task move gets completed in __mem_cgroup_clear_mc(), deferred from when
    mem_cgroup_move_swap_account() actually exchanged old and new ids.
    Concurrent activity can free up swap quicker than the task is scanned,
    bringing id refcount down 0 (which should only be possible when
    offlining).
    
    Just skip that optimization: do that part of the accounting immediately.
