How about this ?

Current memory cgroup's code tends to assume page_size == PAGE_SIZE
and arrangement for THP is not enough yet.

This is one of fixes for supporing THP. This adds
mem_cgroup_check_margin() and checks whether there are required amount of
free resource after memory reclaim. By this, THP page allocation
can know whether it really succeeded or not and avoid infinite-loop
and hangup.

Total fixes for do_charge()/reclaim memory will follow this patch.

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.

Am I missing something?
