The patch titled
Swapless V2: Add migration swap entries
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
swapless-v2-add-migration-swap-entries.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Add migration swap type and functions to handle migration entries
SWP_TYPE_MIGRATION is a special swap type that encodes the pfn of the page in
the swp_offset. SWP_TYPE_MIGRATION swap entries are only set for a pte while
the corresponding page is locked. Migration entries are removed while the
page is still locked. Therefore the processing for this special type of swap
page can be simple.
Only freeing and duplication operations are supported for copy_page_range and
zap_range. The freeing of this type of entry is ignored and we also simply do
nothing on duplication relying on the reverse maps to track replications of
the pte.
If do_swap_page encounters a migration entry then it simply redoes the fault
until the migration entry has gone away. We used to take a page count on the
old page which frequently caused the page migration code to retry again.
Redoing the fault immediately avoids migration retries.
Migration entry related operations work even if CONFIG_SWAP has not been
switched on.
