SubjectRe: [PATCH 05/19] mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new mem_cgroup_charge() API
[I am sorry to come here so late. The series has been already merged so I
am not going to add my acks to separate patches.]

I have to say I like this very much. It simplifies the the charging API
for external users considerably!
