Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: vm.drop_caches should be writable only
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 19:19:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1205925542-14459-1-git-send-email-crquan@gmail.com> (raw)
This file's functionality is to tell the system to do a cache reclaiming,
the possible value to write to it is only 1, 2 or 3, reading from it will
get the last value written to it, that's meaingless.
