Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: data: fix possible overflow in check_swap_activate()

In check_swap_activate(), if the *while* loop exits early (0- or 1-page
long swap file), an overflow happens while calculating the value of the
span parameter as the lowest_pblock variable ends up being greater than
the highest_pblock variable. Let's set *span to 0 in this case...

Hello!

Sorry for replying a month later than I should -- I got distracted by the
other Svace reports... It took a significant part of the weekend to swap this
stuff back in... :-/

I don't know the code well enough but I got the impression that iff
we have a file containing a single page, we'd have one successful call
of add_swap_extent(). Am I missing something?

Well, Greg KH says we shouldn't use unlikely() unless we can prove
that it indeed improves things...
