The issue is not whether it is a loadable module or a driver. Nobody here is stupid enough to say, "hey, now it's a driver/module, all of the complex VM interactions are finally fixed!" If folks don't want this in their system, there's a way to turn it off, today, with the sysfs tunables. We don't need _another_ way to turn it off at runtime (unloading the module/driver). -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
