The reason why kernfs_path() is written the current way was me being lazy. While I think it'd be better to make the functions behave like normal string handling functions if we're extending it, I don't think it's that important. If it's easy, please go ahead. If not, we can get back to it later when necessary. > > I skimmed through the series and spotted several other review points > > which didn't get addressed.

I'll go through each again. The other chunk I noticed was inline conversions of internal functions which didn't seem to belong to the patch. I asked whether those were stray chunks. Maybe the comment was too buried to notice? Anyways, that part actually causes conflicts when applying to cgroup/for-4.5. There are a couple more things. * Can you please put the ns related decls after the regular cgroup stuff in cgroup.h? * I think I might need to edit the documentation anyway but it'd be great if you can make the namespace section more in line with the rest of the documentation - e.g. s/CGroup/cgroup/ and more structured sectioning. At this point, it all generally looks good to me. Let's get the nits out of the way and merge it.
