Subject[PATCH v2 0/7] Replace rw_page with on-stack bio
Date
Recently, there was a dicussion about removing rw_page due to maintainance
burden[1] but the problem was zram because zram has a clear win for the
benchmark at that time. The reason why only zram have a win is due to
bio allocation wait time from mempool under extreme memory pressure.

Christoph Hellwig suggested we can use on-stack-bio for rw_page devices.
This patch implements it and replace rw_page operations with on-stack-bio
and then finally, remove rw_page interface completely.

This patch is based on linux-next-20170804

fs: use on-stack-bio if backing device has BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS
capability
mm:swap: remove end_swap_bio_write argument
mm:swap: use on-stack-bio for BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS device
zram: remove zram_rw_page
