From 68a22394c286a2daf06ee8d65d8835f738faefa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:26:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: free swap space on swap-in/activation If vm_swap_full() (swap space more than 50% full), the system will free swap space at swapin time. With this patch, the system will also free the swap space in the pageout code, when we decide that the page is not a candidate for swapout (and just wasting swap space).
