Use the new KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of direct kmem_cache_create

Hi Kunwu Chan,

I think this is more of a cleanup than a fix,
so it should probably be targeted at 'nf-next' rather than 'net'.
Thanks, I'm confused about when to use "nf-next" or "net" or "net-next".
"nf-next" means fixing errors for linux-next.git and linux-stable.git, while
"nf" or "next" just means linux-next.git?

Hi Kunwu,

nf is for fixes for Netfilter (which includes IPVS). The target tree is nf.git
nf-next is for non-fixes for Netfilter. The target tree if nf-next.git

net is for fixes for Networking code, which does not have a more specific
tree (as is the case for Netfilter). The target tree is net.git.
Liikewise, net-next is for non-fixes for Networking code.
The target tree is net-next.git

Hi Simon,

Thank you very much for your detailed guidance.
In the future, I will carefully follow the rules you introduced to set the appropriate subject for the patch.


The MAINTAINERS file, and get_maintainers.pl script are useful here.

nf is merged into net on request from the Netfilter maintainers,
this is it's path to released kernels.
Likewise, nf-next is merged into net-next.

Before send the patch, I'll read the MAINTAINERS file, and search in email-list to confirm the correct subject.

And if need a new subject patch, i could resend a new one.


If it is a fix, then I would suggest targeting it at 'nf'
and providing a Fixes tag.
I'll keep it in mind in the future.

The above notwithstanding, this looks good to me.
