I think there are design confusion with 1st patch.

Here, you account dirty pages to the memcg which page_cgroup belongs to.
Not to the root cgroup of hierarchical accouning.

Here, you get dirty pages of a memcg which the task belongs to.
Not from root memcg of the memcg-hierarchy which task belogns to.

Here, you get local usage.

you use local value. But, if hierarchila accounting used, memcg->dirty_bytes
should be got from root-of-hierarchy memcg.

I have no objection if you add a pointer as
memcg->subhierarchy_root
to get root of hierarchical accounting. But please check problem of hierarchy, again.
