Subject[PATCH 2/2] mm: don't skip memory guarantee calculations
Date
There are two cases when effective memory guarantee calculation
is mistakenly skipped:

1) If memcg is a child of the root cgroup, and the root
cgroup is not root_mem_cgroup (in other words, if the reclaim
is targeted). Top-level memory cgroups are handled specially
in mem_cgroup_protected(), because the root memory cgroup doesn't
have memory guarantee and can't limit its children guarantees.
So, all effective guarantee calculation is skipped.
But in case of targeted reclaim things are different:
cgroups, which parent exceeded its memory limit aren't special.

2) If memcg has no charged memory (memory usage is 0). In this
case mem_cgroup_protected() always returns MEMCG_PROT_NONE, which
is correct and prevents to generate fake memory low events for
empty cgroups. But skipping memory emin/elow calculation is wrong:
if there is no global memory pressure there might be no good
chance again, so we can end up with effective guarantees set to 0
without any reason.
