If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shaohua Li commit 052b1987faca3606109d88d96bce124851f7c4c2 upstream. When swapon() was not passed the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD option, sys_swapon() will still perform a discard operation. This can cause problems if discard is slow or buggy. Reverse the order of the check so that a discard operation is performed only if the sys_swapon() caller is attempting to enable discard.
