Looks clean in general. But some confliction with memcg in mmotm.
And please CC: to linux-mm@kvack.org when you modify memcg.

Hmm. do we need to get refcnt for dirty page accounting ?

This patch will conflict with mmotm. per_cpu stats are all rewritten.
In 1st impression, I think you should add DIRTY/WRITEBACK/UNSTABLE flag to
page_cgroup. If not, you can never handle migration.

And css_get()/css_put() is very heavy operation. (You can see it by perf, I think.)

So,
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
lock_page_cgroup(pc);
mem = pc->page_cgroup;
if (mem && PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
/* account */
}
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

is better, rather than adding accessing function.
memcg is stable when USED page_cgroup is under lock.

We have mem_cgroup_is_root() macro.

Hmm...do we need spinlock ? You use "unsigned long", then, read-write
is always atomic if not read-modify-write.

mem_cgroup_is_root() again.

Hmm. A concern here is that whether you have to consider
"hierarchical accounting" or not. It's design descision but you have
to describe "dirty limit doesn't handle hierarchical accounting"
somewhere. But I should read 2nd patch before I comment more.

nitpick: When I add "per-memcg, not for hierarchy" function, I tend to
add _local_ in the function name. As mem_cgroup_get_local_stat().

Okay, then, only hierarchy root can set the value.
Please descirbe this kind of important things in patch description.

Thanks.
