Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to
free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require
special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be
careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up
all the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag.
Since commit 073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and
BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an
explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed.
Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_stat() directly.

s/stat()/state()/
This is a nice cleanup: I hadn't seen that connection at all.
But I think you should take it further:
__unlock_page_memcg() can then be static in mm/memcontrol.c,
and its declarations deleted from include/linux/memcontrol.h?
And further: delete __dec_lruvec_state() and dec_lruvec_state()
from include/linux/vmstat.h - unless you feel that every "inc"
ought to be matched by a "dec", even when unused.

You're right on all counts!

Hey look, there isn't a user for the __inc, either :) There is one for
inc, but I don't insist on having symmetry there.

Thanks for the review and good feedback.
How about this v2?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: page-writeback: simplify memcg handling in
test_clear_page_writeback()
Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to
free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require
special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be
careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up
all the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag.
Since commit 073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and
BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an
explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed.
Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_state() directly.
This removes the last user of the lock_page_memcg() return value,
change it to void. Touch up the comments in there as well. This also
removes the last extern user of __unlock_page_memcg(), make it
static. Further, it removes the last user of dec_lruvec_state(),
delete it, along with a few other unused helpers.

The patch looks fine. I don't want to spoil the fun but just wanted to
call out that I might bring back __unlock_page_memcg() for the memcg
accounting of zero copy TCP memory work where we are uncharging the
page in page_remove_rmap().

That shouldn't be an issue. Just add it back if/when you need it and
we have a legitimate in-tree user for it again. It still helps to
remove it now; if someboy later goes through the git log to identify
dependencies, they'll find your patch adding it and can stop looking.
Thanks for the review!
