static unsigned long
mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages(struct mem_cgroup *memcg,
			int nid, unsigned int lru_mask)
{
	u64 total = 0;
	int zid;

	for (zid = 0; zid < MAX_NR_ZONES; zid++)
		total += mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages(memcg,
					    nid, zid, lru_mask);

	return total;
}

Since you use unsigned long to caculate nr_pages and unsigned long long
to caculate bytes, so u64 in function mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages should 
replace by unsigned long to save kernel stack, right?
