You are breaking everybody who really wants to query MADV_NOHUGEPAGE status by this flag. Is there anybody doing that? I don't know but I guess we will find out one day. If the fix was a clear win then I wouldn't say a word. But you are trading one regression which has a proper fix proposed by another potential breakage which would be hard to fix without breaking the former one. So this is a lose-lose situation. But yeah, I am not really interested discussing this any further either. You are clearly not interested about anything beyond your very specific usecases. Sad, but nothing really new from you. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
