Looking almost perfect! Really appreciate that you diligently address all the 
comments I throw into you and don't give up.

While you're touching this file, I would say it makes sense to clean up 
everything we can in one patch. Here are some suggestions:
- Wrap all types and variables in comments in backticks;
- As I've mentioned in one of my previous reviews, let's use the same tense 
everywhere in the commens for consistency;
- Not a native speaker, but I think we should consolidate the use of articles 
when referencing allocator in comments. I think "an allocator" makes more sense 
since it is explicitly indicates that it's implementation dependent and not 
tied to a particular implementation;
- Again, not a native speaker, but let's refer to a framework as "which" or 
"that", not "who".

    While you're touching this file, let's doxygenify this one as well.

<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157570>

    I think you killed that line in previous versions of the review, why do you 
want to bring it back?



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 60 - 61)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157569>

    Not yours, but let's wrap all types and variable names in backticks "`"



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 74 - 75)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157583>

    Mind switching to Present Simple here for consistency? s/will be/is



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 75)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157572>

    I'm not sure `initialize()` can fail: it returns nothing and we do not 
throw exceptions. I see two possibilities here:
    - an allocator uses an exception, which is not caught in the master => 
master fails over;
    - an allocator uses `CHECK*` macros for error situations => master fails 
over.
    
    Could you please rephrase that in order not to mislead the reader?



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 78)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157584>

    s/perform the allocation/perform the batch allocation/
    
    An allocator may also perform allocation based on events (a framework is 
added and so on). However, it's up to the implementation.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 151 - 152)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157591>

    I'm a bit hesitant to put a reference to the built-in allocator here. The 
behaviour you describe is correct, but 
    1) It's how the built-in allocator works
    2) It's how the built-in allocator works now: when it the behaviour 
changes, my bet is that this comment won't be updated, hence it will become 
misleading.
    
    What do you think?

    How about this:
    
    This is triggered if an agent disconnects from the master. Outstanding 
offers on a deactivated agent are removed and resources are recovered in a 
separate call.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 232)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157610>

    How about this one, should be more readable:
    
    Updates a list of trusted agents



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 234 - 237)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157611>

    How about this:
    
    It is invokved when the master starts up with a whitelist flag. In this 
case an allocator must allocate resources only to the hosts in the whitelist.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 239)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157614>

    Or:
    
    A whitelist of agents that are allowed to contribute their resources to the 
allocation pool.
    
    (agents do not offer resources to frameworks directly, let's avoid 
misleading comments)



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 245)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157615>

    Suggestion: Requests resources for a framework.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 247 - 250)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157616>

    Suggestion:
    
    A framework may request resources via this call. It is up to an allocator 
how to react to this request. For example, a request may be ignored, or may 
influence internal priorities an allocator may keep for frameworks.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 260)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157617>

    s/Update/Updates



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 260 - 265)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157618>

    Suggestion:
    
    Updates allocation by applying offer operations.
    
    This call is mainly intended to support persistence-related features 
(dynamic reservationa and persistent volumes). An allocator may react 
differently for certain offer operations, it may use this call to update 
bookkeeping information related to the framework.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 267)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157621>

    s/who has just got resources./which reacted to an offer.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 270 - 271)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157623>

    Again, I'm afraid the next engineer to update the set of offer operations 
will forget to update this list. Do you think it's valuable to keep this list 
here explicitly?



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 279)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157629>

    Let's kill this for now, it doesn't really add extra information.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 291)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157630>

    s/time/interval



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (line 299)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157631>

    Unfinished sentence?



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 355 - 361)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157633>

    Suggestion:
    
    Revives offers for a framework.
    
    It is invoked when a framework that has filtered resources before wants to 
revive offers for those resources.
    
    @param frameworkId ID of the framework which wants to revive offers.



include/mesos/master/allocator.hpp (lines 366 - 369)
<https://reviews.apache.org/r/37993/#comment157632>

    It's resolved, isn't it?
