This series is onto linux-next +
memcg-add-mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache-to-fix-lru-issue.patch

The 1st purpose of this patch is reduce overheads of mem_cgroup_add/del_lru.
They uses some atomic ops. After this patch, lru handling routine will be

==
struct lruvec *mem_cgroup_lru_add_list(struct zone *zone, struct page *page,
enum lru_list lru)
{
struct mem_cgroup_per_zone *mz;
struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
struct page_cgroup *pc;

if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
return &zone->lruvec;

pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
memcg = pc->mem_cgroup;
VM_BUG_ON(!memcg);
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(memcg, page);
/* compound_order() is stabilized through lru_lock */
MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT(mz, lru) += 1 << compound_order(page);
return &mz->lruvec;
}
==

simple and no atomic ops. Because of Johannes works in linux-next,
this can be archived by very straightforward way.

Thanks,
