We use this function with 1 block, 10 blocks and 65536 blocks

How about to have special function for 1 block and then other function which
accepts MB? (e.g. 1 MB and 256 MB)?

But could we first merge Yang Xu patchset so that he does not have to rebase it
for ever?

Also it'd be nice to have, but this can definitely wait after other things are
solved.

-int make_swapfile(const char *swapfile, int blocks, int safe)
+int _make_swapfile(const char *swapfile, int blocks, int safe)

+#define MAKE_SWAPFILE(const char *swapfile, int blocks, int safe) \
+	_make_swapfile(swapfile, blocks, 0)

+#define SAFE_SWAPFILE(const char *swapfile, int blocks, int safe) \
+	_make_swapfile(swapfile, blocks, 1)

Kind regards,
Petr
