.SH NAME
write_swap_page \- Write one page to a fresh swap location.
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
int write_swap_page (unsigned long \fIaddr\fB, swp_entry_t * \fIloc\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIaddr\fB\fR
Address we're writing.
.TP
\fB\fIloc\fB\fR
Place to store the entry we used.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Allocate a new swap entry and 'sync' it. Note we discard -EIO
errors. That is an artifact left over from swsusp. It did not
check the return of \fBrw_swap_page_sync\fR at all, since most pages
written back to swap would return -EIO.
This is a partial improvement, since we will at least return other
errors, though we need to eventually fix the damn code.
