Subject: (resend) [PATCH] vmscan,memcg: memcg aware swap token

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token
mm doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly riskly. If an
admin makes very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contenious heavy
memory pressure workloa, whole tasks in the system are going to lose
swap-token and then system may become unresponsive. That's bad.

This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if
the parameter doesn't match swap-token, VM doesn't put swap-token.

Seems to be missing a css_put()?

Either I'm mistaken or that's a bug. Perhaps neither of these would
have happened if we'd bothered to document
try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm().

Yes! Please drop this one. I'll rework it at this weekend.

Thank you for the finding!
