How about this ? == From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Current memory cgroup's code tends to assume page_size == PAGE_SIZE and arrangement for THP is not enough yet. This is one of fixes for supporing THP. This adds mem_cgroup_check_margin() and checks whether there are required amount of free resource after memory reclaim. By this, THP page allocation can know whether it really succeeded or not and avoid infinite-loop and hangup. Total fixes for do_charge()/reclaim memory will follow this patch. Changelog v1->v2: - style fix.
