[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: PF_SWAPWRITE to allow writing to swap
Add PF_SWAPWRITE to control a processes permission to write to swap. - Use PF_SWAPWRITE in may_write_to_queue() instead of checking for kswapd and pdflush - Set PF_SWAPWRITE flag for kswapd and pdflush Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
