[PATCH v6 1/2] mm: add defines for min/max swappiness

From: Dan Schatzberg
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 11:50:00 EST


We use the constants 0 and 200 in a few places in the mm code when
referring to the min and max swappiness. This patch adds MIN_SWAPPINESS
and MAX_SWAPPINESS #defines to improve clarity. There are no functional
changes.
