OK. Name can be changed.

I think _rcu should be removed out of list_for_each_entry_rcu.
But I'm confused about what you meant.
I used rcu_read_lock on __meminfo_extra,
and I think spin_lock is also needed for addition and deletion to handle multiple modifiers.

I can use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Hello
Thank you for your comment.

By the way there was not resolved discussion on v1 patch as I mentioned on cover page.
I'd like to hear your opinion on this /proc/meminfo_extra node.
Do you think this is meaningful or cannot co-exist with other future sysfs based API.
