- * A call to try to shrink memory usage under specified resource controller.

+ * Calling hierarchical_reclaim is not enough because we should update

+ * Moreover considering hierarchy, we should reclaim from the mem_over_limit,
+ * not from the memcg which this page would be charged to.
+ * try_charge_swapin does all of these works properly.
