How so? If parent's use_hierarchy is set, we can't set this value (we need to have a parent for that to even matter). We also can't set it if we already have any children - otherwise all the on-the-fly adjustments become hell-on-earth. As for = val != 0, sorry, but I completely disagree this is easier than !!val. Not to mention the !!val notation is already pretty widespread in the kernel. > David > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in > the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
