What I meant was that it was a mistake to add the "noswapaccount" in the first place. We should have made it "swapaccount=0", because that would leave open the later option of reversing the default, and enabling "swapaccount=1". It also give us the option of adding "swapaccount=2"! Perhaps to enable alternative swap accounting behaviour. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
