[PATCH] shrink_list(): check PageSwapCache() after add_to_swap()
From: Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM> shrink_list() checks PageSwapCache() before calling add_to_swap(), this means that anonymous page that is going to be added to the swap right now these checks return false and: (*) it will be unaccounted for in nr_mapped, and (*) it won't be written to the swap if gfp_flags include __GFP_IO but not __GFP_FS. (Both will happen only on the next round of scanning.) Patch below just moves may_enter_fs initialization down. I am not sure about (*nr_mapped) increase though.
