[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: clarify swapaccount=0 deprecation warning

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

 



The swapaccount deprecation warning is throwing false positives. Since
we deprecated the knob and defaulted to enabling, the only reports
we've been getting are from folks that set swapaccount=1. While this
is a nice affirmation that always-enabling was the right choice, we
certainly don't want to warn when users request the supported mode.

Only warn when disabling is requested, and clarify the warning.
