[PATCH] SwapMig: Switch error handling in migrate_pages to use -Exx
Use -Exxx instead of numeric return codes and cleanup the code in migrate_pages() using -Exx error codes. Consolidate successful migration handling Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
