607What: noswapaccount kernel command line parameter
608When: 2.6.40
609Why: The original implementation of memsw feature enabled by
610 CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP could be disabled by the noswapaccount
611 kernel parameter (introduced in 2.6.29-rc1). Later on, this decision
612 turned out to be not ideal because we cannot have the feature compiled
613 in and disabled by default and let only interested to enable it
614 (e.g. general distribution kernels might need it). Therefore we have
615 added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter (introduced in 2.6.37) which provides
616 the both possibilities. If we remove noswapaccount we will have
617 less command line parameters with the same functionality and we
618 can also cleanup the parameter handling a bit ().
