With the page->mapping requirement gone from memcg, we can charge anon and file-thp pages in one single step, right after they're allocated. This removes two out of three API calls - especially the tricky commit step that needed to happen at just the right time between when the page is "set up" and when it's "published" - somewhat vague and fluid concepts that varied by page type. All we need is a freshly allocated page and a memcg context to charge. v2: prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged [hannes@cmpxchg.org: Fix crash - *hpage could be ERR_PTR instead of NULL] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200512215813.GA487759@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

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.
