From e1209d3a7a67c281260ba9989621060ba7328b8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 9 May 2022 18:20:48 -0700 Subject: mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-space swap currently uses ->readpage to read swap pages. This can only request one page at a time from the filesystem, which is not most efficient. swap uses ->direct_IO for writes which while this is adequate is an inappropriate over-loading. ->direct_IO may need to had handle allocate space for holes or other details that are not relevant for swap. So this patch introduces a new address_space operation: ->swap_rw. In this patch it is used for reads, and a subsequent patch will switch writes to use it. No filesystem yet supports ->swap_rw, but that is not a problem because no filesystem actually works with filesystem-based swap. Only two filesystems set SWP_FS_OPS: - cifs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO always fails so swap cannot work. - nfs sets the flag, but ->direct_IO calls generic_write_checks() which has failed on swap files for several releases. To ensure that a NULL ->swap_rw isn't called, ->activate_swap() for both NFS and cifs are changed to fail if ->swap_rw is not set. This can be removed if/when the function is added. Future patches will restore swap-over-NFS functionality. To submit an async read with ->swap_rw() we need to allocate a structure to hold the kiocb and other details. swap_readpage() cannot handle transient failure, so we create a mempool to provide the structures.
