We won't trigger high reclaim if we get here, because try_charge does
not check high threshold if failing or forcing charge. I think this
should be fixed regardless of this patch. The fix is attached below.

Also, I don't like calling try_charge twice: the second time will go
through all the try_charge steps for nothing. What about checking
page_counter value after calling try_charge instead:

try_charge(memcg, gfp_mask|__GFP_NOFAIL, nr_pages);
return page_counter_read(&memcg->memory) <= memcg->memory.limit;

or adding an out parameter to try_charge that would inform us if charge
was forced?

cancel_charge(memcg, nr_pages);

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: check high threshold if forcing allocation

try_charge() does not result in checking high threshold if it forces
charge. This is incorrect, because we could have failed to reclaim
memory due to the current context, so we do need to check high threshold
and try to compensate for the excess once we are in the safe context.
