I see hangs with khugepaged. That's because memcg's memory reclaim
routine doesn't handle HUGE_PAGE request in proper way. And khugepaged
doesn't know about memcg.

This patch set is for fixing above hang. Patch 1-3 seems obvious and
has the same concept as patches in RHEL.
Do you have any backtraces? Are they in the specific patches?
