[PATCH] drop_caches: re-enable message after disabling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When 'echo 4 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' the message is disabled,
but there is no interface to enable the message, only by restarting
the way, so I want to add the 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'
way to enabled the message again.
