[PATCH 7/8] mm/swap: check swapfile blocksize greater than PAGE_SIZE

From: Weijie Yang
Date: Mon Jan 27 2014 - 05:05:15 EST


If S_ISREG swapfile's blocksize > PAGE_SIZE, it is not suitable to be
a swapfile, because swap slot is fixed to PAGE_SIZE.

This patch check this situation and return -EINVAL if it happens.
