Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Handle case for invalid backing swap
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:19:59 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B61B227.3050703@vflare.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1264693423-2694-1-git-send-email-ngupta@vflare.org>

Currently, we crash (issue BUG_ON) if backing swap
disk size is zero. This can happen is user specified
an extended partition or simply a bad disk as backing
swap. A crash is really an unpleasant surprise to user
for such trivial problems.

Now, we check for this condition and simply fail device
initialization if this is the case.

Additional cleanups:
 * use static for all functions
 * remove extra newline between functions
 * memset backing_swap_name to NULL on device reset
