Subject: [PATCH -v2] mm: frontswap: fix a wrong if condition in frontswap_shrink
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 16:40:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <505C27FE.5080205@oracle.com> (raw)

pages_to_unuse is set to 0 to unuse all frontswap pages
But that doesn't happen since a wrong condition in frontswap_shrink
cancel it.

-v2: Add comment to explain return value of __frontswap_shrink,
as suggested by Dan Carpenter, thanks
