Subject: [PATCH 1/7] shmem: provide a shmem_write_folio wrapper
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 11:29:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706092933.766071-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706092933.766071-1-hch@lst.de>
Provide a wrapper for the shmem abuses in drm to prepare for swap I/O
refactoring by keeping swap_iocb handling entirely contained in mm/.
