[RFC PATCH v2 6/7] mm: zswap: simplify writeback function

Domenico Cerasuolo
2023-06-06T14:58:04Z

Previously, in zswap, the writeback function was passed to zpool drivers
for their usage in calling the writeback operation. However, since the
drivers did not possess references to entries and the function was
specifically designed to work with handles, the writeback process has
been modified to occur directly within zswap. Consequently, this change
allows for some simplification of the writeback function, taking into
account the updated workflow.
