VM_ZONE_RECLAIM_MODE warning in kernel/sysctl.c

[Hugh Dickins]

Hi Christoph,

I'm puzzled why I who only pretend to have NUMA get this compiler warning
kernel/sysctl.c:881: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
but people who really have NUMA don't.  Specifying the address of an int
instead of a function looks unhealthy to me: could you please test this
plausible but possibly nonsense patch below, correct it where necessary,
and send it in?  Thanks.


Heed NUMA VM_ZONE_RECLAIM_MODE compiler warning in kernel/sysctl.c.
