[PATCH 0/2] memcg: remove unused page-based helpers

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

Hello,

While reading memcontrol.h, I found two page-based helpers that have
no callers.

No functional change.

Sang-Heon Jeon (2):
  memcg: remove unused page_memcg_check()
  memcg: remove unused mod_memcg_page_state()

[PATCH 1/2] memcg: remove unused page_memcg_check()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

Since commit 90f095b816e2 ("mm/page_owner: use memcg_data snapshot to
avoid TOCTOU in print_page_owner_memcg()"), page_memcg_check() has no
callers.

So remove it.

No functional change.

[PATCH 2/2] memcg: remove unused mod_memcg_page_state()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

Since commit c466412c73c3 ("mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_VMALLOC
vmstat counter"), mod_memcg_page_state() has no callers.

So remove it.

No functional change.
