We could use helper memset to fill the
swap_mapwithSWAP_HAS_CACHEinstead of a direct loop here to simplify the code. Also we can remove the local variable i and map this way.
*slot =swp_entry(si->type, offset);I suppose so. But it does assume that the ->swapmap array has the type char. If we ever change that, breakage will ensue.
The origin code already assumes that the ->swap_map array has the type char. So, this change is ok. ;)
And if we change the type of ->swap_map, each place uses the swap_map should be fixed accordingly.;(
Many thanks.
