Perhaps we can follow the established "enum zone_stat_item" names:
NR_FILE_DIRTY,
NR_WRITEBACK,
s/NR_/MEM_CGROUP_STAT_/
The names indicate that dirty pages for anonymous pages are not
accounted (by __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()). While the writeback
pages accounting include both the file/anon pages.
Ah then we'll need to update the document in patch 0 accordingly. This
may sound a bit tricky to the users..
