I'm sorry but I changed the design of page_cgroup's flags update
and never want to add new flags (I'd like to remove page_cgroup->flags.)

Please see linux-next.

A good example is PCG_FILE_MAPPED, which I removed.

memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting
memcg: remove PCG_FILE_MAPPED

You can make use of PageDirty() and PageWriteback() instead of new flags.. (I hope.)

Thanks,
-Kame
