My 9ce70c0240d0 "memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting" put a nasty little bug into v3.3's version of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(), sometimes used for FUSE. Replacing __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() by __mem_cgroup_commit_charge(), I used the "pc" pointer set up earlier: but it's for oldpage, and needs now to be for newpage. Once oldpage was freed, its PageCgroupUsed bit (cleared above but set again here) caused "Bad page state" messages - and perhaps worse, being missed from newpage. (I didn't find this by using FUSE, but in reusing the function for tmpfs.)
