No, Nick, you get to keep your bonus point, it was for remembering migration pages. I was the devil who tempted you into using find_get_page(&swapper_space,).

Not at this point. I won't mind you putting up a patch doing that for discussion and inclusion in -mm (if you do, then read_swap_cache_async should use it too), but it's not now an appropriate fix to the CONFIG_SWAP=n build issue.

Sorry for being so slow to respond on this. Yes, I'm inclined to your ifdeffery fix - one can go cleverer, but I'd say it's the appropriate fix now.
But, please change your "present = 0;" to "present = 1;" - if CONFIG_SWAP isn't on, it has to be a migration entry, which always counts as present.

Well spotted! Something has gone missing: there needs to be a vec[i] = present; at the bottom of that loop.
