Revision e6333fd4ddf7a583480017f535b9ea53c116ab81 authored by Hua Zhong on 15 May 2006, 16:44:22 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 15 May 2006, 18:20:56 UTC
can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference.
This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page.

However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0,
thus always causes a copy for the last COW page.  The below simple patch
fixes it.
