SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/8] kernfs: Add API to generate relative kernfs path
Hey,

I think it'd be better for them to be consistent and in the same order
- the target and then the optional base.

Oops, sorry I forgot about that. The reason why kernfs_path() is
written the current way was me being lazy. While I think it'd be
better to make the functions behave like normal string handling
functions if we're extending it, I don't think it's that important.
If it's easy, please go ahead. If not, we can get back to it later
when necessary.

The other chunk I noticed was inline conversions of internal functions
which didn't seem to belong to the patch. I asked whether those were
stray chunks. Maybe the comment was too buried to notice? Anyways,
that part actually causes conflicts when applying to cgroup/for-4.5.

There are a couple more things.

* Can you please put the ns related decls after the regular cgroup
stuff in cgroup.h?

* I think I might need to edit the documentation anyway but it'd be
great if you can make the namespace section more in line with the
rest of the documentation - e.g. s/CGroup/cgroup/ and more
structured sectioning.

At this point, it all generally looks good to me. Let's get the
nits out of the way and merge it.

Thanks.
