I think you need to pass it down the swapcache path too, as that is
what happens when the shmem page written to is in swap and has been
read into swapcache by the time of charging.

Indentation broken?

The code tests for read-only paths a bunch of times using

        sgp != SGP_WRITE && sgp != SGP_FALLOC

Would probably be more consistent and more robust to use this here as
well?

Same.

Otherwise, the patch looks good to me, thanks for persisting :)
