 swap subsystem then writes the new data to the read swap device,
 this is the correct course of action to ensure coherency.
 
-* What is frontswap_shrink for?
-
-When the (non-frontswap) swap subsystem swaps out a page to a real
-swap device, that page is only taking up low-value pre-allocated disk
-space.  But if frontswap has placed a page in transcendent memory, that
-page may be taking up valuable real estate.  The frontswap_shrink
-routine allows code outside of the swap subsystem to force pages out
-of the memory managed by frontswap and back into kernel-addressable memory.
-For example, in RAMster, a "suction driver" thread will attempt
-to "repatriate" pages sent to a remote machine back to the local machine;
-this is driven using the frontswap_shrink mechanism when memory pressure
-subsides.

 * Why does the frontswap patch create the new include file swapfile.h?
 
 The frontswap code depends on some swap-subsystem-internal data
