From: Liu Shixin <liushixin2@huawei.com> When a task in memcg readaheads file pages, page_cache_ra_unbounded() will try to readahead nr_to_read pages. Even if the new allocated page fails to charge, page_cache_ra_unbounded() still tries to readahead next page. This leads to too much memory reclaim. Stop readahead if mem_cgroup_charge() fails, i.e. add_to_page_cache_lru() returns -ENOMEM.
