Hi Li Zefan,

Can you or a guru from netdev explain me why there exists
mem_cgroup_sockets_init() and mem_cgroup_sockets_destroy() in

1. net/core/sock.c <--- AFAICS this includes below sock.h, too.
2. net/core/sock.h <--- mm/memcontrol.c is including this one.

Make me less confused.

And can you explain why your approach is "better" to do the change in
memcontrol.c than in sock.h (see sock.c).

Thanks in advance.
