The patch titled mm: reuse_swap_page replaces can_share_swap_page has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-reuse_swap_page-replaces-can_share_swap_page.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm: reuse_swap_page replaces can_share_swap_page From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> A good place to free up old swap is where do_wp_page(), or do_swap_page(), is about to redirty the page: the data on disk is then stale and won't be read again; and if we do decide to write the page out later, using the previous swap location makes an unnecessary disk seek very likely. So give can_share_swap_page() the side-effect of delete_from_swap_cache() when it safely can. And can_share_swap_page() was always a misleading name, the more so if it has a side-effect: rename it reuse_swap_page(). Irrelevant cleanup nearby: remove swap_token_default_timeout definition from swap.h: it's used nowhere.
