mm: kill frontswap

2023-08-21T20:37:26Z

The only user of frontswap is zswap, and has been for a long time. Have swap call into zswap directly and remove the indirection.

mm: zswap: support exclusive loads

2023-06-19T23:19:05Z

Commit 71024cb4a0bf ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets") removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used. Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an "exclusive" output parameter to frontswap_ops->load. On the zswap side, add a module parameter to enable/disable exclusive loads, and a config option to control the boot default value. Refactor zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page() into zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load() if exclusive loads are enabled. With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap. On the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being dirtied, it will be re-compressed. Compression is not usually slow, and a page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again soon.
