From: Ting Liu <liuting.0x7c00@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: make some vars and functions static or __init "page_idle_ops" as a global var, but its scope of use within this document. So it should be static. "page_ext_ops" is a var used in the kernel initial phase. And other functions are aslo used in the kernel initial phase. So they should be __init or __initdata to reclaim memory.
