Subject[PATCH] swap: Fix swap size in case of block devices
Date
During swapon, swap size is set to number of usable pages in the given
swap file/block device minus 1 (for header page). In case of block devices,
this size is incorrectly set as one page less than the actual due to an
off-by-one error. For regular files, this size is set correctly.
