Currently the kernel adds the page, allocated for swapin, to the swapcache before charging the page. This is fine but now we want a per-memcg swapcache stat which is essential for folks who wants to transparently migrate from cgroup v1's memsw to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters. In addition charging a page before exposing it to other parts of the kernel is a step in the right direction. To correctly maintain the per-memcg swapcache stat, this patch has adopted to charge the page before adding it to swapcache. One challenge in this option is the failure case of add_to_swap_cache() on which we need to undo the mem_cgroup_charge(). Specifically undoing mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() is not simple. To resolve the issue, this patch decouples the charging for swapin pages from mem_cgroup_charge(). Two new functions are introduced, mem_cgroup_swapin_charge_page() for just charging the swapin page and mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap() for uncharging the swap slot once the page has been successfully added to the swapcache.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
