From: Nitin Gupta Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 05:32:42 +0000 (+0530) Subject: swap: Add flag to identify block swap devices X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~441^2^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b27256439568950f30864ccecaeb6dfb588089d5;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.git swap: Add flag to identify block swap devices Added SWP_BLKDEV flag to distinguish block and regular file backed swap devices. We could also check if a swap is entire block device, rather than a file, by: S_ISBLK(swap_info_struct->swap_file->f_mapping->host->i_mode) but, I think, simply checking this flag is more convenient.
