From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Subject: [PATCH V7 1/4] mm: frontswap: swap data structure changes
This first patch of four in the frontswap series 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.
Also add 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.
[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] [v5: no change from v4] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.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>
