Subject[PATCH] memcg: fix memory.high target
Date
When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a
task_work to reclaim the excess. The reclaim target is set to the number
of pages requested by try_charge(). This is wrong, because try_charge()
usually charges more pages than requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to
refill per cpu stocks. As a result, a process in a cgroup can easily
exceed memory.high significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o
returning to userspace (e.g. reading a file in big chunks).

Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process
reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e. batch).
