The problem is that I was usually keeping things in clearly separated
blocks, like this :

#if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM) && defined(CONFIG_INET)
        struct tcp_memcontrol tcp_mem;
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM)
        /* analogous to slab_common's slab_caches list. per-memcg */
        struct list_head memcg_slab_caches;
        /* Not a spinlock, we can take a lot of time walking the list */
        struct mutex slab_caches_mutex;
        /* Index in the kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches array */
        int kmemcg_id;
#endif

If it would be preferable to everybody, this could be easily rewritten as:

#if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM)
#if defined(CONFIG_INET)
        struct tcp_memcontrol tcp_mem;
#endif
        /* analogous to slab_common's slab_caches list. per-memcg */
        struct list_head memcg_slab_caches;
        /* Not a spinlock, we can take a lot of time walking the list */
        struct mutex slab_caches_mutex;
        /* Index in the kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches array */
        int kmemcg_id;
#endif

This would allow us to collapse some blocks a bit down as well.

It doesn't bother me *that* much, though.
