If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in
a radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained
in shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to
check for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG
in find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier,
was to minimize the places where common code would need to allow
for swap entries.
The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a
slightly different form when stored in the radix tree, just
as it gets massaged into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset)
to 30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's
a maximum swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we
previously allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the
entire upper 32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit
without PAE; and there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap
filesize is already limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty
areas of 128GB is probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions,
and enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.
