There are few other places in vmscan where we check nr_swap_pages and
inactive_anon_is_low. Are we planning to change them to use
total_swap_pages
to be consistent ?

If that makes sense, maybe the check can just be moved into
inactive_anon_is_low itself?

That was the initial patch posted, instead we changed to use
total_swap_pages instead. How this patch looks:

Looks good to me. It could use a comment along the lines of:

/*
* No sense scanning the anon lists if we have no swap space.
*/

... and, of course, your signed-off-by :)
