3 points.
 1. Is this useful if used alone ?
 2. memcg requires this kind of feature, basically.
 3. I wonder I need more work to make this work well under memcg.

If chasing page->cgroup and memcg make this patch much more complex,
I think this style of implimentation is a choice.

 About 3. 
    Does this works well if I changes get_dirty_limit()'s
    determine_dirtyable_memory() calculation under memcg ?
    But to do this seems not valid if dirty_ratio cgroup and memcg cgroup 
    containes different set of tasks.
 
Thanks,
