[PATCH] swap: Avoid scanning invalidated region for cheap seek

From: Chen Yucong
Date: Sun May 25 2014 - 22:13:17 EST


For cheap seek, when we scan the region between si->lowset_bit
and scan_base, if san_base is greater than si->highest_bit, the
scan operation between si->highest_bit and scan_base is not
unnecessary.

This patch can be used to avoid scanning invalidated region for
cheap seek.
