Neither unionfs nor memcgroups are working correctly with tmpfs and shmem.
If either or both are to go forward to 2.6.25, we shall need these patches
(against 2.6.24-rc5-mm1, but not dependent on unionfs or memcgroups) to go
in ahead.  A small set for unionfs and a smaller set for memcgroups follow.

In your -mm series file, please shift 
shmem-factor-out-sbi-free_inodes-manipulations.patch
shmem-factor-out-sbi-free_inodes-manipulations-fix.patch
tmpfs-fix-mounts-when-size-is-less-than-the-page-size.patch
down after my
swapoff-scan-ptes-preemptibly.patch
and then append the nine tmpfs patchs which follow.

Thanks!
