mm/swapfile.c: fix swapon size off-by-one
There's an off-by-one disagreement between mkswap and swapon about the
meaning of swap_header last_page: mkswap (in all versions I've looked at:
util-linux-ng and BusyBox and old util-linux; probably as far back as
1999) consistently means the offset (in page units) of the last page of
the swap area, whereas kernel sys_swapon (as far back as 2.2 and 2.3)
strangely takes it to mean the size (in page units) of the swap area.
This disagreement is the safe way round; but it's worrying people, and
loses us one page of swap.
The fix is not just to add one to nr_good_pages: we need to get maxpages
(the size of the swap_map array) right before that; and though that is an
unsigned long, be careful not to overflow the unsigned int p->max which
later holds it (probably why header uses __u32 last_page instead of size).
Why did we subtract one from the maximum swp_offset to calculate maxpages?
Though it was probably me who made that change in 2.4.10, I don't get it:
and now we should be adding one (without risk of overflow in this case).
Fix the handling of swap_header badpages: it could have overrun the
swap_map when very large swap area used on a more limited architecture.
Remove pre-initializations of swap_header, nr_good_pages and maxpages:
those date from when sys_swapon was supporting other versions of header.
