Uh, we still need to check this page's lruvec, that needs a rcu_read_lock.
to save a mem_cgroup_page_lruvec call, we have to open lock_page_lruvec
as your mentained before.

If page->mem_cgroup always be charged. the following could be better.

+/* Don't lock again iff page's lruvec locked */
+static inline struct lruvec *relock_page_lruvec_irqsave(struct page *page,
+               struct lruvec *locked_lruvec, unsigned long *flags)
+{
+       struct lruvec *lruvec;
+
+       if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
+               return locked_lruvec;
+
+       /* user page always be charged */
+       VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!page->mem_cgroup, page);
+
+       rcu_read_lock();
+       if (likely(lruvec_memcg(locked_lruvec) == page->mem_cgroup)) {
+               rcu_read_unlock();
+               return locked_lruvec;
+       }
+
+       if (locked_lruvec)
+               unlock_page_lruvec_irqrestore(locked_lruvec, *flags);
+
+       lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(page, page_pgdat(page));
+       spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock, *flags);
+       rcu_read_unlock();
+       lruvec_memcg_debug(lruvec, page);
+
+       return lruvec;
+}
+

The user page is always be charged since readahead page is charged now.
and looks we also can apply this patch. I will test it to see if there is
other exception.

    mm/memcg: remove useless check on page->mem_cgroup

    Since readahead page will be charged on memcg too. We don't need to
    check this exception now.
