Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/swap: add a new swap_ops.h header to allow for pluggable swap ops
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:06:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722130615.3163560-3-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722130615.3163560-1-hch@lst.de>
Add a new header to declare the swap_iocb, swap_ops and swap_ctx to
allow for swap_ops implementations outside of mm/page_io.c. This
will be used to remove the double indirection for file system-based
swap.
Note that there already is a swapops.h header, which is totally
unrelated to struct swap_ops. The close naming is a bit unfortunate,
but I could not think of a better name for this header.
