85 * Due to the asynchronous nature of the backends loading potentially
86 * _after_ the swap system has been activated, we have chokepoints
87 * on all frontswap functions to not call the backend until the backend
90 * Specifically when no backend is registered (nobody called
91 * frontswap_register_ops) all calls to frontswap_init (which is done via
92 * swapon -> enable_swap_info -> frontswap_init) are registered and remembered
93 * (via the setting of need_init bitmap) but fail to create tmem_pools. When a
94 * backend registers with frontswap at some later point the previous
95 * calls to frontswap_init are executed (by iterating over the need_init
96 * bitmap) to create tmem_pools and set the respective poolids. All of that is
97 * guarded by us using atomic bit operations on the 'need_init' bitmap.
99 * This would not guards us against the user deciding to call swapoff right as
100 * we are calling the backend to initialize (so swapon is in action).
101 * Fortunatly for us, the swapon_mutex has been taked by the callee so we are
102 * OK. The other scenario where calls to frontswap_store (called via
103 * swap_writepage) is racing with frontswap_invalidate_area (called via
104 * swapoff) is again guarded by the swap subsystem.
106 * While no backend is registered all calls to frontswap_[store|load|
107 * invalidate_area|invalidate_page] are ignored or fail.
109 * The time between the backend being registered and the swap file system
110 * calling the backend (via the frontswap_* functions) is indeterminate as
111 * backend_registered is not atomic_t (or a value guarded by a spinlock).
112 * That is OK as we are comfortable missing some of these calls to the newly
113 * registered backend.
115 * Obviously the opposite (unloading the backend) must be done after all
116 * the frontswap_[store|load|invalidate_area|invalidate_page] start
117 * ignorning or failing the requests - at which point backend_registered
118 * would have to be made in some fashion atomic.
