[PATCH v3 0/3] mm/swap: use swap_ops to register swap device's methods

[PATCH v3 0/3] mm/swap: use swap_ops to register swap device's methods

[Baoquan He]

This can simplify the code logic and benefit any new type of swap device
added later.

And also do renaming in this patchset:
-------
   file renaming:
   ---
   mm/page_io.c to mm/swap_io.c

   function renaming:
   ---
   swap_writepage_* to swap_write_folio_* in file mm/swap_io.c

Changlog:
===
-v3:
 * Rename setup_swap_ops() to init_swap_ops() which reflect the function
   behaviour a little better
 * Check if sis->ops, sis->ops->read_folio and sis->ops->write_folio is
   NULL in init_swap_ops(), but not spread them where they are called.
   And once the checking failed, fail swapon immediately. This is
   suggested by Chris.
 * Call init_swap_ops() before setup_swap_extents() invocation. This
   doesn't harm anything and can benefit later adding sis->ops->swap_activate
   method.

-v2:
 * lots of cleanup for patch 2/3: renaming, moving data
   structures, and using const properly
 * collected tags from Kairui, Nhat and Barry

-v1:

[PATCH v3 1/3] mm/swap: rename mm/page_io.c to mm/swap_io.c

[Baoquan He]

Codes in mm/page_io.c are only related to swap io, it has
nothing to do with other page io.

Rename it to avoid confusion.

[PATCH v3 2/3] mm/swap: use swap_ops to register swap device's methods

[Baoquan He]

This simplifies codes and makes logic clearer. And also makes later any
new swap device type being added easier to handle.

Currently there are three types of swap devices: bdev_fs, bdev_sync
and bdev_async, and only operations read_folio and write_folio are
included. In the future, there could be more swap device types added
and more appropriate opeations adapted into swap_ops.

sis->ops is always non-NULL, and you will return -1 here and
swapon will always fail with -EINVAL.

You probably wanted?

You are right. Think one thing, write another. Will fix it in v4.

[PATCH v3 3/3] mm/swap_io.c: rename swap_writepage_* to swap_write_folio_*

[Baoquan He]

All these swap_writepage_* functions are hanlding passed in folio, but
not page. And this renaming make them consistent with the their
counterpart swap_read_folio_* functions.
