From 3f9e7949f86dfe2bd9a1ad0604f78e7683c059de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:01:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] valid_swaphandles() fix akpm draws my attention to the fact that sysctl(VM_PAGE_CLUSTER) might conceivably change page_cluster to 0 while valid_swaphandles() is in the middle of using it, leading to an embarrassingly long loop: take a local snapshot of page_cluster and work with that.
