Subject: swapin: fix valid_swaphandles defect
From: Hugh Dickins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries
neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for
it a range worth reading all together. But since it always starts its search
from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there
immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that
cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around
the target entry.
Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called
"si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read,
return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated
call to read_swap_cache_async.
