Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-drop-swap_dirty_folio.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 09 May 2022 21:15:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220510041509.9EE52C385C2@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: drop swap_dirty_folio
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-drop-swap_dirty_folio.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable
------------------------------------------------------
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Subject: mm: drop swap_dirty_folio
folios that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any
filesystem.
When such a folio is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a
swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the folio itself does not
belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's ->dirty_folio()
address_space operation makes no sense. This is for folios in the given
address space, and a folio to be written to swap does not exist in the
given address space.
So drop swap_dirty_folio() which calls the address-space's
->dirty_folio(), and always use noop_dirty_folio(), which is appropriate
for folios being swapped out.
