From 0041eef981cc55bb1f316a9bbda993adf9079402 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:42:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmpressure: remove window size TODO There has been a steady stream of patches that have been submitted by newcomers to core mm 'fixing' this TODO, with all but the original having very likely been generated by LLMs. It appears that TODOs to LLMs are like red rags to a bull. In addition, TODOs in code often bitrot and are distracting - those who understand the code know what could be improved in future. Therefore remove the TODO. The work required to actually fix this TODO requires somebody who both has understanding of the code and significant real-world data to back their changes. Such a person doesn't require a TODO prompt to implement this change, so nothing of value is being lost here.
