I think the following three patches can be merged earlier:
      1/8 memcg: remove MEMCG_NR_FILE_MAPPED
      3/8 memcg: check for proper lock held in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat
      5/8 memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting

Do I need to resent them again for you or they're enough?

One more word, since dirty accounting is essential to future memcg
dirty page throttling and it is not an optional feature now, I suspect
whether we can merge the following two as well and leave the overhead
optimization a separate series.  :p
      4/5 memcg: add per cgroup dirty pages accounting
      8/8 memcg: Document cgroup dirty/writeback memory statistics

The 2/8 ceph one still need more improvement, I'll separate it next version.
