[PATCH 4/4] zswap: avoid unnecessary page scanning

From: Weijie Yang
Date: Fri Aug 23 2013 - 07:14:13 EST


add SetPageReclaim before __swap_writepage, so that page can be moved
to the tail of the inactive list,
which will avoid unnecessary page scanning as this page was reclaimed
by swap subsystem before.
