mm: frontswap: core frontswap functionality
This patch, 3of4, provides the core frontswap code that interfaces between the hooks in the swap subsystem and a frontswap backend via frontswap_ops. --- New file added: mm/frontswap.c [v14: add support for writethrough, per suggestion by aarcange@redhat.com] [v11: sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: s/puts/failed_puts/] [v10: sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: fix debugfs calls on 32-bit] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: change "flush" to "invalidate", part 1] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: mark some statics __read_mostly] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: add clarifying comments] [v9: akpm@linux-foundation.org: no need to loop repeating try_to_unuse] [v9: error27@gmail.com: remove superfluous check for NULL] [v8: rebase to 3.0-rc4] [v8: kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: add comment to clarify find_next_to_unuse] [v7: rebase to 3.0-rc3] [v7: JBeulich@novell.com: use new static inlines, no-ops if not config'd] [v6: rebase to 3.1-rc1] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: use vzalloc] [v6: lliubbo@gmail.com: fix null pointer deref if vzalloc fails] [v6: konrad.wilk@oracl.com: various checks and code clarifications/comments] [v4: rebase to 2.6.39] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@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> [v12: Squashed s/flush/invalidate/ in] [v15: A bit of cleanup and seperate DEBUGFS] Signed-off-by: Konrad Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
