Greg, sorry that the mem_cgroup_dirty_info() interfaces and
tracepoints are abridged since they are not used here. Obviously this
patch series is not enough to keep the number of dirty pages under
control. It only tries to improve page reclaim behavior given whatever
dirty number. We'll need further schemes to keep dirty pages under
sane levels, so that unrelated tasks do not suffer from reclaim waits
when there are heavy writers in the same memcg.

Thanks,
Fengguang
