vi fs/direct-reclaim-helper.c, it has a few placeholders for where the real code needs to go....just look for the ~ marks.

You know, it took me a sec, even as a daily vim user. *chuckle* Good one. :-D

Brilliant! Made my day!

That's great! (And, an explanation for non-vi users)

That's funny.

Here's an explanation, for non-vi users. There is no such file "fs/direct-reclaim-helper.c", at least at the moment. If you enter the command vi command on an non-existant file, you'll see a screen full of "~" marks (which is how vi shows "this line is past the end of the file").
