3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Will Deacon <will.dea...@arm.com> commit f5f2025ef3e2cdb593707cbf87378761f17befbe upstream. Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t. For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not get used. This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.
