Bug in mm/thrash.c function grab_swap_token()
Following bug was uncovered by compiling with '-W' flag: CC mm/thrash.o mm/thrash.c: In function ‘grab_swap_token’: mm/thrash.c:52: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false Variable token_priority is unsigned, so decrementing first and then checking the result does not work; fixed by reversing the test, patch attached (compile tested only). I am not sure if likely() makes much sense in this new situation, but I'll let somebody else to make a decision on that.
