Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/swap: move swap_ops into file systems for file system-based swap
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:46:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723054622.3460249-4-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723054622.3460249-1-hch@lst.de>
Currently swap to and from file systems goes through two indirect calls
between the swap ops and the swap_rw method. Reduce this by directly
providing the swap_ops from the file system.
For this refactor swap_fs_submit into a swap_fs_prepare_rw helper that
initializes the iov_iter on the callers stack so that file systems can
call it directly, and use that to initialize file system specific ops
in the NFS and SMB clients, which then get passed to swap_fs_activate.
