Great! I like this change very much.

Some comments are inlined.

it should be:

	*ptr = mem;
	ret = __mem_cgroup_try_charge(NULL, GFP_KERNEL, ptr, false);
	css_put(&mem->css);

as Andrea has fixed already.

I think using page_is_file_cache() would be better.

unnecessary extra line :)

hmm... using mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() would be enough, but I think it doesn't
show what we want: we must uncharge "unused" by all means in PageCgroupUsed case,
and I feel it strange a bit to uncharge "unused" by mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(),
if it *was* a cache page.
So I think __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common(unused, MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_FORCE)
would be better, otherwise we need more comments to explain why
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() is enough.

And if newpage was removed from radix-tree after unlock_page(),
the context which removed it from radix-tree uncharges it properly, because
it is charged at prepare_migration.

right?

mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() does the same check :)


Thanks,
