I'm sorry if I misunderstand..almost all this kind of accounting is done
under lock_page()...then...

Hmm. IIUC, this req->pages[0] is "tmp_page", which works as bounce_buffer for FUSE.
Then, this req->pages[] is not under any memcg.
So, this accounting never work.

Here, if the page is locked (by lock_page()), it will never be uncharged.
Then, _locked() version stat accounting can be used.

IIUC, this clone_page is not under memcg, too. Then, it can't be handled. (now)

Hmm...isn't this a clone_page in above ? If so, this should be avoided.
IMHO, at 1st version, NILFS and FUSE's bounce page should be skipped.
If we want to limit this, we have to charge against bounce page.
I'm not sure it's difficult or not...but...

This is called under lock_page(). Then, the page is stable under us.
locked version can be used.

Maybe moving this to under tree_lock and using unloked version is better.

cancel_dirty_page() is called after do_invalidatepage() but before
remove_from_pagecache(), it's all done under lock_page().
Then, we can use "locked" accounting here.
If you feel locked/unlocked accounting is toooo complex, simply adding
irq_enable/disable around lock_page_cgroup() is a choice.
But please measure performance before doing that.
Thanks,
