I have a question for this. If a page is mapped in multiple processes
(for example, because of fork). With swap cache, after swapping out
and swapping in, the page will be still shared by these processes.
But with your changes, it appears that there will be multiple pages
with same contents mapped in multiple processes, even if the page
isn't written in these processes. So this may waste some memory in
some situation? And copying from device is even faster than looking
up swap cache in your system?
