All that I expect is that this will get _some_ of these folks in to a feedback loop with us. They'll see this in dmesg and either go asking questions within their respective companies, file bugs with distros, or post to LKML. Some of them are going to say things like "My Database Vendor told me this optimizes my server!", or that the documentation told them to do it so they don't run out of memory. Some of them might even be running in to _legitimate_ VM or filesystem bugs that they're working around with this. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
