SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 0/3] Directed kmem charging
Hi Shakeel,

this looks generally reasonable to me.

However, patch 1 introduces API that isn't used until patch 2 and 3,
which makes reviewing harder since you have to jump back and forth
between emails. Please fold patch 1 and introduce API along with the
users.

Can you open with the rationale for the series, i.e. the problem
statement (fsnotify and bh memory footprint), *then* follow with the
proposed solution?

Thanks!
