Subject: [PATCH] memsw: handle swapaccount kernel parameter correctly
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:21:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110126152158.GA4144@tiehlicka.suse.cz> (raw)
Hi Andrew,
I am sorry but the patch which added swapaccount parameter is not
correct (we have discussed it https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/16/103).
I didn't get the way how __setup parameters are handled correctly.
The patch bellow fixes that.
I am CCing stable as well because the patch got into .37 kernel.

Subject: [PATCH] memsw: handle swapaccount kernel parameter correctly
__setup based kernel command line parameters handled in
obsolete_checksetup provides the parameter value including = (more
precisely everything right after the parameter name) so we have to check
for =0 resp. =1 here. If no value is given then we get an empty string
rather then NULL.
