If this patch is only related to THP, I think patch order isn't good.
Before applying [2/4], huge page allocation will retry without
reclaiming and loop forever by below part.

@@ -1854,9 +1858,6 @@ static int __mem_cgroup_do_charge(struct
} else
mem_over_limit = mem_cgroup_from_res_counter(fail_res, res);

- if (csize > PAGE_SIZE) /* change csize and retry */
- return CHARGE_RETRY;
-
if (!(gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT))
return CHARGE_WOULDBLOCK;

Am I missing something?
