memcg: remove a redundant check
Because of remove refcnt patch, it's very rare case to that mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called against a page which is accounted. mem_cgroup_charge_common() is called when. 1. a page is added into file cache. 2. an anon page is _newly_ mapped. A racy case is that a newly-swapped-in anonymous page is referred from prural threads in do_swap_page() at the same time. (a page is not Locked when mem_cgroup_charge() is called from do_swap_page.) Another case is shmem. It charges its page before calling add_to_page_cache(). Then, mem_cgroup_charge_cache() is called twice. This case is handled in mem_cgroup_cache_charge(). But this check may be too hacky... Signed-off-by : KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.
