Hi, Hugh,

Sorry for late reply.

Because we don't deal with PTEs in struct vma_swap_readahead anymore, it
appears simpler to record addresses directly, for example,

struct vma_swap_readahead {
	unsigned long start;
	unsigned long end;
};

we can make ra_info.win to be the return value of swap_ra_info().

Anyway, this can be a separate cleanup patch based on this patch.

For the patch itself, feel free to add,
