[PATCH 16/18] mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily
escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory
that they're not being charged for. That's because swap readahead
pages are not being charged until somebody actually faults them into
their page table. This can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which
triggers arbitrary readahead allocations without charging the pages.

There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages:

1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we
   need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is
   not determinable until the page has been charged.

2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be
   stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks
   change under us. But swapcache gets charged after it's already on
   the LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging
   is not exactly optional).

The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records
for swap pages. This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the
fault handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems.
