Only anon and shmem pages in the swap cache are attempted to be charged multiple times, from every swap pte fault or from shmem_unuse(). No other pages require checking PageCgroupUsed(). Charging pages in the swap cache is also serialized by the page lock, and since both the try_charge and commit_charge are called under the same page lock section, the PageCgroupUsed() check might as well happen before the counter charging, let alone reclaim.
