Subject: [PATCH] swap : check the return value of swap_readpage()
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 17:30:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1294997421-8971-1-git-send-email-b32955@freescale.com> (raw)

The read_swap_cache_async() does not check the return value
of swap_readpage().

If swap_readpage() returns -ENOMEM, the read_swap_cache_async()
still returns the `new_page` which has nothing. The caller will
do some wrong operations on the `new_page` such as copy.

The patch fixs the problem.

Also remove the unlock_ page() in swap_readpage() in the wrong case
, since __delete_from_swap_cache() needs a locked page.
