Thanks.  Like this?

void mem_cgroup_wb_stats(struct bdi_writeback *wb, unsigned long *pfilepages,
			 unsigned long *pheadroom, unsigned long *pdirty,
			 unsigned long *pwriteback)
{
	struct mem_cgroup *memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(wb->memcg_css);
	struct mem_cgroup *parent;

	*pdirty = memcg_exact_page_state(memcg, NR_FILE_DIRTY);

	/* this should eventually include NR_UNSTABLE_NFS */
	*pwriteback = memcg_exact_page_state(memcg, NR_WRITEBACK);
	*pfilepages = memcg_exact_page_state(memcg, NR_INACTIVE_FILE) +
			memcg_exact_page_state(memcg, NR_ACTIVE_FILE);
	*pheadroom = PAGE_COUNTER_MAX;

	while ((parent = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg))) {
		unsigned long ceiling = min(memcg->memory.max, memcg->high);
		unsigned long used = page_counter_read(&memcg->memory);

		*pheadroom = min(*pheadroom, ceiling - min(ceiling, used));
