It's in account_page_writeback().

  void account_page_writeback(struct page *page)
  {
+	mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat(page, MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_WRITEBACK);
  	inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_WRITEBACK);
  }


There isn't a unified interface to dec/inc writeback accounting, so
I just follow that.
Maybe we can rework account_page_writeback() to also account
dec in?
