+
+ Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite of
+ a "backing" store for a swap device. The storage is assumed to be
+ a synchronous concurrency-safe page-oriented pseudo-RAM device (such as
+ Xen's Transcendent Memory, aka "tmem", or in-kernel compressed memory,
+ aka "zmem", or other RAM-like devices) which is not directly accessible
+ or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly time-varying
+ size. This pseudo-RAM device links itself to frontswap by setting the
+ frontswap_ops pointer appropriately and the functions it provides must
+ conform to certain policies as follows:
+
+ An "init" prepares the pseudo-RAM to receive frontswap pages and returns
+ a non-negative pool id, used for all swap device numbers (aka "type").
+ A "put_page" will copy the page to pseudo-RAM and associate it with
+ the type and offset associated with the page. A "get_page" will copy the
+ page, if found, from pseudo-RAM into kernel memory, but will NOT remove
+ the page from pseudo-RAM. A "flush_page" will remove the page from
+ pseudo-RAM and a "flush_area" will remove ALL pages associated with the
+ swap type (e.g., like swapoff) and notify the pseudo-RAM device to refuse
+ further puts with that swap type.
+
+ Once a page is successfully put, a matching get on the page will always
+ succeed. So when the kernel finds itself in a situation where it needs
+ to swap out a page, it first attempts to use frontswap. If the put returns
+ non-zero, the data has been successfully saved to pseudo-RAM and
+ a disk write and, if the data is later read back, a disk read are avoided.
+ If a put returns zero, pseudo-RAM has rejected the data, and the page can
+ be written to swap as usual.
+
+ Note that if a page is put and the page already exists in pseudo-RAM
+ (a "duplicate" put), either the put succeeds and the data is overwritten,
+ or the put fails AND the page is flushed. This ensures stale data may
+ never be obtained from psuedo-RAM.
