Re: [PATCH 22/28] mm: add support for non block device backed swap files

Starting review in the middle, because this is the part I'm most familiar with.
New addres_space_operations methods are added: int swapfile(struct address_space *, int);
Separate ->swapon() and ->swapoff() methods would be so much cleaner IMO. Also is there a reason why 'struct file *' cannot be supplied to these functions? [snip]
+int swap_set_page_dirty(struct page *page)
+{
+ struct swap_info_struct *sis = page_swap_info(page);
+
+ if (sis->flags & SWP_FILE) {
+ const struct address_space_operations *a_ops =
+ sis->swap_file->f_mapping->a_ops;
+ int (*spd)(struct page *) = a_ops->set_page_dirty;
+#ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK
+ if (!spd)
+ spd = __set_page_dirty_buffers;
+#endifThis ifdef is not really needed. Just require ->set_page_dirty() be filled in by filesystems which want swapfiles (and others too, in the longer term, the fallback is just historical crud). Here's an incremental patch addressing these issues and beautifying the new code.
