The mod_objcg_state() function is moved from mm/slab.h to
mm/memcontrol.c
so that further optimization can be done to it in later patches without
exposing unnecessary details to other mm components.

It would be more naturally placed next to the others, e.g. below
__mod_lruvec_kmem_state().

But no deal breaker if there isn't another revision.

Yes, there will be another revision by rebasing patch series on the
linux-next. I will move the function then.
OK, it turns out that mod_objcg_state() is only defined if
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM. That was why I put it in the CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM block with
the other obj_stock functions. I think I will keep it there.
The CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM has become sort of useless now. It used to be
configurable, but now it just means CONFIG_MEMCG && !CONFIG_SLOB. And
even that doesn't make sense because while slob doesn't support slab
object tracking, we can still do all the other stuff we do under
KMEM. I have a patch in the works to remove the symbol and ifdefs.

With that in mind, it's better to group the functions based on what
they do rather than based on CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM. It's easier to just
remove another ifdef later than it is to reorder the functions.

OK, I will make the move then. Thanks for the explanation.

BTW, have you ever thought of moving the cgroup-v1 specific functions out into a separate memcontrol-v1.c file just like kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c?

I thought of that before, but memcontrol.c is a frequently changed file and so a bit hard to do.

Cheers,
