Reviewed-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@xxxxxxxxx> Vlastimil, here is another small comments fixup for the same original patch: diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c index 0745a28782de..9bd0ffd4c547 100644 --- a/mm/memcontrol.c +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c @@ -353,7 +353,7 @@ static void memcg_reparent_objcgs(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, /* * A lot of the calls to the cache allocation functions are expected to be - * inlined by the compiler.
