If you think that swapoff("") that important, I can add = that > additional verification. Why=E2=80=99s it worse? It=E2=80=99s just a syscall number, you = deprecate the old one and move on, we do that for things relatively regularly. This is really not a good solution; harder to use as a caller since the prototype is wrong, impossible to ensure you preserve the semantics for the existing interface in all cases, and ugly to implement. You don=E2=80=99t need a = flag day for a new syscall, either, you can continue to only use the new method for -f for a release and then switch over to the new syscall entirely. Or switch over to the new syscall entirely now and fall back on the old syscall if -f isn=E2=80=99t passed. Defining a new syscall = also lets you not need the name_old_syscall member in the struct, and gives you a clean, fully-extensible syscall to which future features can be added in a backwards-compatible way, rather than forever keeping around this legacy mess.
