[LTP] [PATCH v3 1/2] libswap: Add {SAFE_, }MAKE_SMALL_SWAPFILE() macros

Petr Vorel pvorel@suse.cz
Thu Apr 25 23:10:41 CEST 2024


65536 bytes triggered warning on systems with 64 kb page size (e.g. on
aarch64 with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y or on ppc64le with
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y):

    TWARN: Swapfile size is less than the system page size. Using page size
    (65536 bytes) instead of block size (4096 bytes).

1 MB should be ok for most of the systems.
