Subject: mm: reuse unused swap entry if necessary
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c9e444103b5e7a5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm: reuse unused swap entry if necessary

Presently we can know a swap entry is just used as SwapCache via swap_map,
without looking up swap cache.

Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in
get_swap_pages().

This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not
enough.

Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free
cluster.  Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel
to reclaim unused swap.
