Agreed. Actually we are also looking into adding a per-memcg API for
adding visibility of
page reclaim path. It would be helpful for us to settle w/ the API first.

I am not a fan of names, but how about
"/dev/cgroup/memory/memory.reclaim_stat" ?

How those stats different from Johannes's patch? I feel we should keep
them into this API instead of memory.stat
"pgscan_direct_limit"
"pgreclaim_direct_limit"

The same for the following which I assume the same meaning with:
"pgscan_direct_hierarchy"
"pgreclaim_direct_hierarchy"

So those stats are not included in the ones above?
