[PATCH next] memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag fix

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Wed Feb 29 2012 - 00:30:44 EST


Swapping tmpfs loads show absurd wrapped rss and wrong cache in memcg's
memory.stat statistics: __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common() is failing to
distinguish the anon and tmpfs cases.

Mostly we can decide between them by PageAnon, which is reliable once
it has been set; but there are several callers who need to uncharge a
MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_MAPPED page before it was fully initialized,
so allow that case to override the PageAnon decision.
