[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: swap: remove 'synchronous' argument to swap_read_folio()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swap-remove-synchronous-argument-to-swap_read_folio.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: swap: remove 'synchronous' argument to swap_read_folio()
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2024 04:55:15 +0000

Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read
latency for block devices that can be polled.  However later commit [2]
removed polling support.  Commit [3] removed the remnants of polling
support from read_swap_cache_async() and __read_swap_cache_async(). 
However, it left behind some remnants in swap_read_folio(), the
'synchronous' argument.

swap_read_folio() reads the folio synchronously if synchronous=true or if
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set in swap_info_struct.  The only caller that
passes synchronous=true is in do_swap_page() in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
case.

Hence, the argument is redundant, it is only set to true when the swap
read would have been synchronous anyway. Remove it.

[1] Commit 23955622ff8d ("swap: add block io poll in swapin path")
[2] Commit 9650b453a3d4 ("block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio")
[3] Commit b243dcbf2f13 ("swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async")
