Oh, sorry for misleading comment. I mean the code handling merging of
per-memcg caches is useless, AFAIU: if we find an alias for a per-memcg
cache on kmem_cache_create_memcg(), the parent of the found alias must
be the same as the parent_cache passed to kmem_cache_create_memcg(), but
if it were so, we would never proceed to the memcg cache creation,
because the cache we want to create already exists.
Thanks.
