I would not call this commit trivial: http://oss.oracle.com/git/djm/tmem.git/?p=djm/tmem.git;a=commitdiff;h=6ce5607c1edf80f168d1e1f22dc7a85290cf094a You are exporting bunch of mm/swapfile.c variables (including locks) and adding hooks to mm/page_io.c and mm/swapfile.c. Furthermore, code like this: > + if (frontswap) { > + if (frontswap_test(si, i)) > + break; > + else > + continue; > + } does not really help your case.
