Thanks Casper. Used macro 'PATH_KSM' and removed braces. And tested the same. ksm01, ksm01_1: Before patch: ... ksm01 0 TINFO : KSM merging... ksm01 1 TBROK : open: errno=ENOENT(2): No such file or directory ksm01 2 TBROK : Remaining cases broken ... After patch: ... ksm01 1 TCONF : KSM configuration is not enabled ksm01 2 TCONF : Remaining cases not appropriate for configuration ... Signed-off-by: Nageswara R Sastry -- Regards R.Nageswara Sastry
