Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] mkswap: Add additional fields in swapheader
Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:27:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1350925048-31084-4-git-send-email-venkat@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1350925048-31084-1-git-send-email-venkat@linaro.org>
Use the padding section to add useful information in
swap header. This is backward compatible with
SWAPSPACE2 headers.
