[PATCH 0/2] mm: do not call frontswap_init() during swapoff

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The call to frontswap_init() was added in a place where it is called not
only from sys_swapon, but also from sys_swapoff. This pair of patches
fixes that.

The first patch moves the acquisition of swap_lock from enable_swap_info
to two separate helpers, one for sys_swapon and one for sys_swapoff. As
a bonus, it also makes the code for sys_swapoff less subtle.

The second patch moves the call to frontswap_init() from the common code
to the helper used only by sys_swapon.

Compile-tested only, but should be safe.
