Patch series "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option", v2. Cgroups v2 have been around for a while and many users have fully adopted them, so they never use cgroups v1 features and functionality. Yet they have to "pay" for the cgroup v1 support anyway: 1) the kernel binary contains an unused cgroup v1 code, 2) some code paths have additional checks which are not needed, 3) some common structures like task_struct and mem_cgroup contain unused cgroup v1-specific members. Cgroup v1's memory controller has a number of features that are not supported by cgroup v2 and their implementation is pretty much self contained. Most notably, these features are: soft limit reclaim, oom handling in userspace, complicated event notification system, charge migration. Cgroup v1-specific code in memcontrol.c is close to 4k lines in size and it's intervened with generic and cgroup v2-specific code. It's a burden on developers and maintainers. This patchset aims to solve these problems by: 1) moving cgroup v1-specific memcg code to the new mm/memcontrol-v1.c file, 2) putting definitions shared by memcontrol.c and memcontrol-v1.c into the mm/memcontrol-v1.h header, 3) introducing the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option, turned off by default, 4) making memcontrol-v1.c to compile only if CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is set. If CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not set, cgroup v1 memory controller is still available for mounting, however no memory-specific control knobs are present. This patch (of 14): This patch introduces the mm/memcontrol-v1.c source file which will be used for all legacy (cgroup v1) memory cgroup code. It also introduces mm/memcontrol-v1.h to keep declarations shared between mm/memcontrol.c and mm/memcontrol-v1.c. As of now, let's compile it if CONFIG_MEMCG is set, similar to mm/memcontrol.c. Later on it can be switched to use a separate config option, so that the legacy code won't be compiled if not required.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
