mm,swap: fix a theoretical underflow in readahead window calculation
Patch series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation". When VMA based swap readahead is introduced in commit ec560175 ("mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead"), "struct vma_swap_readahead" is defined to describe the readahead window. Because we wanted to save the PTE entries in the struct at that time. But after commit 4f8fcf4c ("mm/swap: swap_vma_readahead() do the pte_offset_map()"), we no longer save PTE entries in the struct. The size of the struct becomes so small, that it's better to use the fields of the struct directly. This can simplify the code to improve the code readability. The line number of source code reduces too. A theoretical underflow issue and some related code cleanup is done in the series too. This patch (of 3): In swap readahead window calculation, if the fault PFN is smaller than the readahead window size, underflow may occurs. This is only possible in theory, because the start of the virtual address space will not be used for anonymous pages in practice. Even if underflow occurs, there will be no functional bugs. In the worst cases, some swap entries may be swapped in incorrectly and some pages may be allocate on the wrong nodes. Anyway, we still needs to fix the issue via some underflow checking.
