Subject: swap: add a limit for readahead page-cluster value
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 00:25:33 +0800
Currenty there is no upper limit for /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster, and it's a
bit shift value, so it could result in overflow of the 32-bit integer.
Add a reasonable upper limit for it, read-in at most 2**31 pages, which is
a large enough value for readahead.
