page will eventually get charged for it (once it is uncharged from
the cgroup that brought it in -- this will happen on memory pressure).
+But see section 8.2: when moving a task to another cgroup, its pages may
+be recharged to the new cgroup, if move_charge_at_immigrate has been chosen.

Exception: If CONFIG_CGROUP_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is not used.
When you do swapoff and make swapped-out pages of shmem(tmpfs) to
be backed into memory in force, charges for pages are accounted against the
caller of swapoff rather than the users of shmem.

Swap Extension allows you to record charge for swap. A swapped-in page is

-- Implement madvise(2) to let users decide the vma to be moved or not to be
- moved.
- All of moving charge operations are done under cgroup_mutex. It's not good
behavior to hold the mutex too long, so we may need some trick.
