From: Shaohua Li Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 23:34:17 +0000 (-0700) Subject: swap: don't do discard if no discard option added X-Git-Url: http://git.alex.org.uk swap: don't do discard if no discard option added When swapon() was not passed the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD option, sys_swapon() will still perform a discard operation. This can cause problems if discard is slow or buggy. Reverse the order of the check so that a discard operation is performed only if the sys_swapon() caller is attempting to enable discard.
