Hmm, maybe no trouble but we'll have to care shmem's page is not marked as
PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_CACHE but charged by mem_cgroup_charge_cache_page(). 
(I think why shmem is charged as cache is because shmem is used for tmpfs)

pc->flags |= PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_FILE |  PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_ACTIVE;

is bad ? (or not work ? I can't catch yet.)


And we have to change this again ;)

        [MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS] = { "anon/swapcache", PAGE_SIZE, },
