struct percpu_cluster stores the index of cpu's current cluster and the offset of the next entry that will be allocated for the cpu. These two pieces of information are redundant because the cluster index is just (offset / SWAPFILE_CLUSTER). The only reason for explicitly keeping the cluster index is because the structure used for it also has a flag to indicate "no cluster". However this data structure also contains a spin lock, which is never used in this context, as a side effect the code copies the spinlock_t structure, which is questionable coding practice in my view. So let's clean this up and store only the next offset, and use a sentinal value (SWAP_NEXT_INVALID) to indicate "no cluster". SWAP_NEXT_INVALID is chosen to be 0, because 0 will never be seen legitimately; The first page in the swap file is the swap header, which is always marked bad to prevent it from being allocated as an entry. This also prevents the cluster to which it belongs being marked free, so it will never appear on the free list. This change saves 16 bytes per cpu. And given we are shortly going to extend this mechanism to be per-cpu-AND-per-order, we will end up saving 16 * 9 = 144 bytes per cpu, which adds up if you have 256 cpus in the system.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
