kmem_cache_destroy_work_func => worker interface to kmem_cache_destroy kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children => cache destructor iterator kmem_cache_dup => interface to kmem_cache_create
All the other functions start with memcg_ Analogously, all slab-side functions that deal with memcg *ends* with _memcg. except the functions that are only there to operate memcg data structures:
memcg_update_all_caches.
In general, those functions could very well live in the other file (slab or memcg), but they need to take locks or manipulate data structures that are internal to slab/memcg.
I believe this is a sound convention.
