I'm aware of that. And I'm not opposed to the patch, but I'm opposed to the notion that sys_bdflush as a whole has been useless for ages. E.g. noflushd[1] on 2.4 happily calls it every five seconds. Count this as a vote for rate limiting the message, for the benefit of folks switching between 2.4 and 2.5.
Regards,
Daniel.
[1] Admittedly a bad example as it won't start on 2.5 anyway, but there might be similar codes around. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
