Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/7] memcg: add per cgroup dirty pages accounting
I guess you should CC vfs people

The patch seems correct at first glance (I have to look closer but I am
in rush at the momemnt and will be back next week).
I was just thinking that memcg is enabled by most distributions these
days but not that many people use it. So it would be probably good to
think how to reduce an overhead if !mem_cgroup_disabled && no cgroups.
Something similar Glauber did for the kmem accounting.
