The patch titled swap_info: change to array of pointers has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is swap_info-change-to-array-of-pointers.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: swap_info: change to array of pointers From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The swap_info_struct is only 76 or 104 bytes, but it does seem wrong to reserve an array of about 30 of them in bss, when most people will want only one. Change swap_info[] to an array of pointers. That does need a "type" field in the structure: pack it as a char with next type and short prio (aha, char is unsigned by default on PowerPC). Use the (admittedly peculiar) name "type" throughout for this index. /proc/swaps does not take swap_lock: I wouldn't want it to, but do take care with barriers when adding a new item to the array (never removed).
