[PATCH 1/3] swap: Use __try_to_reclaim_swap() in free_swap_and_cache()

From: Huang Ying
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 03:55:44 EST


The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is
almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest
difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional
requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call
__try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will
improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs.

There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap()
and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache().

- free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is
unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap().

- try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks
pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think
this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed
later eventually.
