mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap() includes a mem_cgroup_disabled() check,
so the caller doesn't need to check that.

Hi, Kairui,

I take a look at memcontrol.c, it appears that almost all extern
functions check mem_cgroup_disabled() as the first step. So I guess
that this is a convention of memcontrol.c? And the benefit of the
change is minimal. In contrast, if someone makes more changes to
mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap() in the future, he may forget to add
this back. So, it may be unnecessary to make the change?

Hmm, just checked memcontrol.c and I saw quite a few extern functions
not doing that, so I think that's not a convention.

This change is minimal indeed, it only helps to remove a few unneeded
nop, still a gain though.
I think mem_cgroup_swapin_uncharge_swap should fade away in the future,
it's only for Cgroup V1, and it's a really simple function, just a
wrapper for mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap, so I think this is not a
problem?
If you are concerned about this, this patch can be dropped from this
series, rest of the patches still work the same.

I still think that it's a good idea to check whether memcg is disabled
in the outermost interfaces instead of being buried in some internal
functions.

The benefit is minimal too.

Good. Then, we don't need to optimize it too. Just let it fade away.

Just my 2 cents.
