SubjectRe: [PATCH] Reap dead swap cache earlier v2

Shouldn't the "swap_count(page) == 1" check be earlier in the if
statement, so we can fall through more quickly if there is no work to
be done? A small optimization, but putting the common cases first
will help.

Marcelo> + ClearPageDirty(page);
Marcelo> + ClearPageReferenced(page);
Marcelo> + page->age = 0;
Marcelo> + ret = 1;
Marcelo> + }
