I'm not really looking at this, but want to chime in that I found the
memcg1 swap stuff in mm/memcontrol.c, not in mm/memcontrol-v1.c, very
misleading when I was doing the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() business:
so, without looking into the details of it, strongly approve of the
direction you're taking here - thank you.

But thought you could go even further, given that
static inline bool do_memsw_account(void)
{
	return !cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys);
}

I thought that amounted to do_memsw_account iff memcg_v1;
but I never did grasp cgroup_subsys_on_dfl very well,
so ignore me if I'm making no sense to you.
