[PATCH 2/4] swap: Add ability to mark swap pages bad

From: Richard Purdie
Date: Mon Jan 08 2007 - 08:50:19 EST


Add swap_free_markbad(), equivalent to swap_free but marks the swap page
as bad. Update try_to_unuse_entry() and shmem_unuse() to call the new
function when working on pages with errors.

These patches are a based on a patch by Nick Piggin and some of my own
patches/bugfixes as discussed on LKML.
