From 8e125cd85517c9716695b0abfabc0a4a3fcb94f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:43:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: remove obsolete shrink_control comment 09f363c7 ("vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c") fixed a shrinker callback which was returning -1 when nr_to_scan is zero, which caused excessive slab scanning. But 635697c6 ("vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling") fixed the problem, again so we can freely return -1 although nr_to_scan is zero. So let's revert 09f363c7 because the comment added in 09f363c7 made an unnecessary rule.
