[PATCH 7/8] mm/swap: check swapfile blocksize greater than PAGE_SIZE

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

 



If S_ISREG swapfile's blocksize > PAGE_SIZE, it is not suitable to be
a swapfile, because swap slot is fixed to PAGE_SIZE.

This patch check this situation and return -EINVAL if it happens.
