Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] mm: Remove swap BIO paths and only use DIO paths
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 18:19:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <163250396319.2330363.10564506508011638258.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <163250387273.2330363.13240781819520072222.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Delete the BIO-generating swap read/write paths and always use ->swap_rw().
This puts the mapping layer in the filesystem.

[!] ALSO: Add a compile-time knob to disable swap by asynchronous DIO, only
    using synchronous DIO.  Async DIO doesn't seem to work, with ATA errors
    being chucked out by the swap-on-blockdev and swapfile-on-XFS.  It also
    misbehaves on NFS.

I have tested this with sync DIO on ext4-swapfile, xfs-swapfile, a raw
blockdev and NFS.  The first three work; NFS works for a while then grinds to
a halt, chucking out lists of blocked sunrpc operations (I suspect it can't
allocate memory somewhere).
