[merged mm-stable] mm-zswap-invaldiate-entry-after-writeback.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: zswap: invaldiate entry after writeback
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-zswap-invaldiate-entry-after-writeback.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: zswap: invaldiate entry after writeback
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 16:31:22 +0200

When an entry started writeback, it used to be invalidated with ref count
logic alone, meaning that it would stay on the tree until all references
were put.  The problem with this behavior is that as soon as the writeback
started, the ownership of the data held by the entry is passed to the
swapcache and should not be left in zswap too.  Currently there are no
known issues because of this, but this change explicitly invalidates an
entry that started writeback to reduce opportunities for future bugs.

This patch is a follow up on the series titled "mm: zswap: move writeback
LRU from zpool to zswap" + commit f090b7949768("mm: zswap: support
exclusive loads").
