Hi, In reply to "[PATCH RFC -mm v2 3/3] memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme" Johannes wrote: > I like this patch, but the API names are confusing.

While preparing it I found that some of the ugly-named functions constituting interface between memcontrol.c and slab_common.c can be neatly got rid of w/o complicating the code. Quite the contrary, w/o them call-flows look much simpler, IMO. So the first four patches do not rename anything actually - they just rework call-flows in kmem cache creation/destruction and memcg_caches arrays relocations paths. Finally, patches 5 and 6 clean up the naming. v1: http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/25/254 Changes in v2: - move memcg_params allocation/free for per memcg caches to slab_common.c, because this way it looks clearer (patch 4) - minor changes in function names and comments Reviews are appreciated.
