[PATCH] mm/swap: add function get_total_swap_pages to expose total_swap_pages

[He, Roger]

	I think this patch isn't need at all. You can directly read total_swap_pages variable in TTM.

Because the variable is not exported by EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. So direct using will result in:
"WARNING: "total_swap_pages" [drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko] undefined!".

Thanks

Hi Roger,

I think this patch isn't need at all. You can directly read total_swap_pages variable in TTM. See the comment:

/* protected with swap_lock. reading in vm_swap_full() doesn't need lock */ long total_swap_pages;

there are many places using it directly, you just couldn't change its value. Reading it doesn't need lock.


Regards,

David Zhou
