kswapd compalsory?

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

 



Hello

On systems without swap kswapd is still running and there seem to be no
way to disable it (at least on 2.4). It might be harmless, but at least it
seems unlogical and it wastes resources. Is it just because so many paths
in the kernel depend on it regardless of whether or not swap is present on
the system, or why?

Thanks
