Subject: [patch] vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap
sc.may_swap does not only influence reclaiming of anon pages but pages
mapped into pagetables in general, which also includes mapped file
pages.
>From shrink_page_list():
if (!sc->may_swap && page_mapped(page))
goto keep_locked;
For anon pages, this makes sense as they are always mapped and
reclaiming them always requires swapping.
But mapped file pages are skipped here as well and it has nothing to
do with swapping.
The real effect of the knob is whether mapped pages are unmapped and
reclaimed or not. Rename it to `may_unmap' to have its name match its
actual meaning more precisely.

Is the above description okay for you?
Andrew, this is on top of the two earlier clean ups in vmscan.c:
+ swsusp-clean-up-shrink_all_zones.patch
+ swsusp-dont-fiddle-with-swappiness.patch
