Subject: [PATCH linux-next 1/6] memcontrol: rename mem_cgroup_scan_tasks()  

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@....com.cn>

Current Issue:
==============
The function mem_cgroup_scan_tasks in memcontrol.c has a naming ambiguity.
While its name suggests it only iterates through processes belonging to
the current memcgroup, it actually scans all descendant cgroups under the
subtree rooted at this memcgroup. This discrepancy can cause confusion
for developers relying on the semantic meaning of the function name.

Resolution:
=========
Renaming: We have renamed the original function to
**mem_cgroup_tree_scan_tasks** to explicitly reflect its subtree-traversal
behavior.

A subsequent patch will introduce a new mem_cgroup_scan_tasks function that
strictly iterates processes only within the current memcgroup, aligning its
behavior with its name.
