[patch] mm: memcontrol: fold mem_cgroup_start_move()/mem_cgroup_end_move()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Having these functions and their documentation split out and somewhere
makes it harder, not easier, to follow what's going on.

Inline them directly where charge moving is prepared and finished, and
put an explanation right next to it.
