Hi Hugh,

Many thanks for the testing!

I am trying to reproduce your testing, do above 3 steps, then build kernel with 'make -j 8' on my qemu. but cannot reproduce the problem with this v7 version or with v8 version, https://github.com/alexshi/linux/tree/lru-next, which fixed the bug KK mentioned, like the following.
my qemu vmm like this:

[root@debug010000002015 ~]# mount -t tmpfs -o size=470M tmpfs /tst
[root@debug010000002015 ~]# cp /dev/zero /tst
cp: error writing ‘/tst/zero’: No space left on device
cp: failed to extend ‘/tst/zero’: No space left on device
[root@debug010000002015 ~]# losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
[root@debug010000002015 ~]# cat /proc/cmdline
earlyprintk=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 debug crashkernel=128M printk.devkmsg=on

my kernel configed with MEMCG/MEMCG_SWAP with xfs rootimage, and compiling kernel under ext4. Could you like to share your kernel config and detailed reproduce steps with me? And would you like to try my new version from above github link in your convenient?

Thanks a lot!
Alex
