> Commit 0e2759afcaf9 ("page_counter: track failcnt only for legacy
> cgroups") made failcnt accounting conditional on track_failcnt. It
> enabled the flag for memcg->memory, but not for memcg->memsw or
> memcg->tcpmem.

> Consequently, memory.memsw.failcnt remains zero when the memory+swap

> Enable failcnt accounting for both v1 counters.
