Subject: Re: [PATCH] min_free_kbytes limit
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 16:17:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2c1942a705032306177b0a9ebe@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050323140049.GC19113@localhost>

init_per_zone_pages_min() function. The problem with min_free_kbytes
is, it's integer and accepts signed values. There should be something
to like this to avoid problems for example setting min_free_kbytes
value to below zero.
