I'd been worried by high "swapcached" counts in memcg OOM reports,
thought we had a problem freeing swapcache, but it was just the
accounting that was wrong.
Two issues:
1. When __remove_mapping() removes swapcache, __delete_from_swap_cache()
relies on memcg_data for the right counts to be updated; but that had
already been reset by mem_cgroup_swapout(). Swap those calls around -
mem_cgroup_swapout() does not require the swapcached flag to be set.
6.1 commit ac35a4902374 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation")
already made a similar swap for workingset_eviction(), but not for this.
2. memcg's "swapcached" count was added for memcg v2 stats, but displayed
on OOM even for memcg v1: so mem_cgroup_move_account() ought to move it.
Fixes: b6038942480e ("mm: memcg: add swapcache stat for memcg v2")
