    Greg Thelen (cc'ed) did some progresses on my original work. AFAIK
    there're still some locking issue to resolve, principally because
    cgroup dirty memory accounting requires lock_page_cgroup() to be
    irq-safe. I did some tests using the irq-safe locking vs trylock
    approach and Greg also tested the RCU way.

    The RCU approach seems promising IMHO, because the page's cgroup owner
    is supposed to change rarely (except for the files shared and frequently
    written by many cgroups).

    Greg, do you have a patch rebased to a recent kernel?

    Thanks,
    -Andrea
