How are you getting mmotm?

I see the mem_cgroup_update_file_stat() routine added in mmotm
(stamp-2010-09-28-16-13) using patch file:
  http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/memcg-generic-filestat-update-interface.patch

      This patch extracts the core logic from mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() as
      mem_cgroup_update_file_stat() and adds a wrapper.
  
      As a planned future update, memory cgroup has to count dirty pages to
      implement dirty_ratio/limit.  And more, the number of dirty pages is
      required to kick flusher thread to start writeback.  (Now, no kick.)
  
      This patch is preparation for it and makes other statistics implementation
      clearer.  Just a clean up.
