NFS: swap IO handling is slightly different for O_DIRECT IO
[ Upstream commit 64158668ac8b31626a8ce48db4cad08496eb8340 ] 1/ Taking the i_rwsem for swap IO triggers lockdep warnings regarding possible deadlocks with "fs_reclaim". These deadlocks could, I believe, eventuate if a buffered read on the swapfile was attempted. We don't need coherence with the page cache for a swap file, and buffered writes are forbidden anyway. There is no other need for i_rwsem during direct IO. So never take it for swap_rw() 2/ generic_write_checks() explicitly forbids writes to swap, and performs checks that are not needed for swap. So bypass it for swap_rw(). Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
