But in turn, where is mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from direct
reclaim? It appears to be only called from the fault path or as a result
of the memcg changing size.

yes. It's only called from
	- page fault
	- add_to_page_cache()

I think we'll see no stack problem. Now, memcg doesn't wakeup kswapd for
reclaiming memory, it needs direct writeback.

Of course, a memcg page fault could still be triggered
from copy_to_user or copy_from_user, with a fairly
arbitrary stack frame above...
