Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 19:11:05 -0700

Patch series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats", v3.

This series adds new capability for understanding frequency and circumstances
behind flushing memcg stats.


This patch (of 2):

Change the name to something more consistent with others in the file and
use double unders to signify it is associated with the
mem_cgroup_flush_stats() API call.  Additionally include a new flag that
call sites use to indicate a forced flush; skipping checks and flushing
unconditionally.  There are no changes in functionality.
