Hi,

This series implements swap file support for Btrfs.

Changes since v4 [1]:

- Added a kernel doc for btrfs_get_chunk_map()
- Got rid of "Btrfs: push EXCL_OP set into btrfs_rm_device()"
- Made activate error messages more clear and consistent
- Changed clear vs unlock order in activate error case
- Added "mm: export add_swap_extent()" as a separate patch
- Added a btrfs_wait_ordered_range() at the beginning of
  btrfs_swap_activate() to catch newly created files
- Added some Reviewed-bys from Nikolay

I took a stab at adding support for balance when a swap file is active,
but it's a major pain: we need to mark block groups which contain swap
file extents, check the block group counter in relocate/scrub, then
unmark the block groups when the swap file is deactivated, which gets
really messy because the file can grow while it is an active swap file.
If this is a deal breaker, I can work something out, but I don't think
it's worth the trouble.

This was tested with the swap tests in xfstests plus my new tests here
[2]. Additionally, I used my swapme test program [3] and ran a few
memory-intensive workloads (e.g., a highly parallel kernel build),
verifying that swap was being used. All of this was done with lockdep
enabled.

This series is based on v4.19-rc1. Please take a look.

Thanks!
