:> >>>>>#define VM_METER VM_TOTAL
This change was part of a larger patch set. I have no particular
objection to adding the #define or renaming VM_TOTAL back to VM_METER,
but I *WILL* point out that even without a name change the VM cnt
structure has changed so often that for all intents and purposes the
API has changed with or without the name change, on many occassions,
and is likely to continue to change in the future.
Because of this there isn't much point keeping name compatibility and
unless you can point to some piece of third party software that
is so adversely effected that the name must be changed back, I would
not recommend changing it back. But if you want to do it, I will not
stop you.
