Johannes had some objections to this patch as it is currently written...

John W. Linville		Someday the world will need a hero, and you
[email protected]			might be all we have.  Be ready.

I'm not sure that there's any point in that. Sure, we can slap two files together; what the hell for? Both are quite large, there's a (relatively) sane separation of code between them (misc. files contents in /proc/<pid>/ vs. directory structure and symlinks in there, more or less) and I don't see any benefit in mashing them together. Up to Alexey, but IMO that's pointless.

(cc's added)

No strong opinions here.

AFAIK Alexey isn't doing procfs any more?

Hi, Al.

Just as what I said in the description of that patch, one only has extern functions that are _only_ used in another as function pointers.

And the size of code can't be a reason why they are seperated, we have much more source files larger than this one. :)

Thanks.

Er... So what? Amount of functions made static is not, per se, a useful metrics of anything.

And that's not a good thing...

Not only about static, but also because they are used via function pointers.

Logically, it is better for these functions used via pointers to be kept in the same file with the struct which holds these function pointers.

I am going to agree with Al here. array.c has a well defined function and purpose. base.c is on it's way to becoming a dumping ground. The only reason the functions in array.c are used directly in base.c is that we don't have a way to dynamically register struct pid_entry's.

Given the number of ifdefs in base.c it looks like it could really benefit
from splitting up. I made it about half way there last time I was working
on proc.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please hold those zone-reclaim related patches a while? zone reclaim is under disccusion with Mel and Wu now.

I think this patch can be dropped from your series as Wolfgang proposed a newer, improved version here,
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/10/63. I'm guessing his new patch is going to be taken through Pierre's tree?
