When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and then the memory+swap counter. If one of the counters is at its limit, we enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap because that wouldn't change the situation. However, if the counters have the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit. To know whether reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting the memory+swap limit. Just try the memory+swap counter first.
