Subject: [PATCH v6 07/22] mm: create scaffolds for the new virtual swap implementation
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 08:38:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505153854.1612033-8-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505153854.1612033-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>

In prepration for the implementation of swap virtualization, add new
scaffolds for the new code: a new mm/vswap.c source file, which
currently only holds the logic to set up the (for now, empty) vswap
debugfs directory. Hook this up in the swap setup step in
mm/swap_state.c, and set up vswap compilation in the Makefile.

Other than the debugfs directory, no behavioral change intended.

Finally, make Johannes a swap reviewer, given that he has contributed
majorly to the developments of virtual swap.
