Hi,
In do_swap_page() we don't flush read ahead pages to memory, so the cpu
might read the wrong data into the icache. I can reproduce this on my ppc
machine and the patch below fixes this problem.
If the patch is ok, you might also want to remove the wait_on_page() since
the following lock_page() implies this wait already.
bye, Roman
