Thank you for taking the trouble to do this.

However... all that shmem_swp index code is irredeemably unreadable
(my fault, dating from when I converted it to use highmem with kmaps),
and I'd rather leave it untouched until we simply delete it
completely.

I have a patch/set (good for my testing but not yet good for final
submission) which removes all that code, and the need to allocate
shmem_swp index pages (even when CONFIG_SWAP is not set!): instead
saving the swp_entries in the standard pagecache radix_tree for the
file, so no extra allocations are needed at all.

It is possible that my patch/set will not be accepted (extending the
radix_tree in that way may meet some resistance); but I do think
that's the right way forward.

Thanks,
Hugh
