mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers
This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem. This includes: (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Frontswap_map points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages counts how many pages are in frontswap. (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff". Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk. --- [v14: rebase to 3.4-rc2] [v10: no change] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: change counter to atomic_t to avoid races] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: comment to clarify informational counters] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: add new swap struct elements only if config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.0-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@novell.com> Acked-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Cc: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Cc: Rik Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> [v11: Rebased, fixed mm/swapfile.c context change] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
