Hold on, I think this patch is still not complete: end_migration()
directly uses __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common() with the FORCE charge
type.  This will uncharge all migrated anon pages as cache, when it
should decide based on PageAnon(used), which is the page where
->mapping is intact after migration.
You are right, I've missed that one as well. Anyway
MEM_CGROUP_CHARGE_TYPE_FORCE is used only in mem_cgroup_end_migration
these days and it got out of sync with its documentation (used by
force_empty) quite some time ago (f817ed48). What about something like
the following on top of the previous patch?

Should be foldet into the previous patch with the updated changelog:

Mapping of the unused page is not touched during migration (see
used one, not unused.  unused->mapping is globbered during migration.
Yes, you are right:
Sorry I haven't sent the most recent update. Here we go:

Should be folded into the previous patch with the updated changelog:

Mapping of the used page is not touched during migration (see
page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct charge type
down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for unused page.
The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the needless
page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the unused page
is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few lines
up.  But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding another
flag just to skip them.  But I guess this should be mentioned in the
changelog.
