    mm: methods for teaching filesystems about PG_swapcache pages · f981c595
    Mel Gorman authored
    
    
    In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
    functions are introduced:
    
      pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
      loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
      struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);
    
    page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
    PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks.  Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
    function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.
    
    page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
    expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.
    
    page_file_mapping() - gives the mapping backing the actual page; that is
    for swap cache pages it will give swap_file->f_mapping.
