This documentation for ->swap_activate() has been out-of-date for a long time. This patch updates it to match recent changes, and adds documentation for the associated ->swap_rw() Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> --- Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst | 18 ++++++++++++------ Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst | 17 ++++++++++++----- 2 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst b/Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst index 2998cec9af4b..009d855c9be5 100644 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst @@ -260,8 +260,9 @@ prototypes:: int (*launder_folio)(struct folio *); bool (*is_partially_uptodate)(struct folio *, size_t from, size_t count); int (*error_remove_page)(struct address_space *, struct page *); - int (*swap_activate)(struct file *); + int (*swap_activate)(struct swap_info_struct *sis, struct file *f, sector_t *span) int (*swap_deactivate)(struct file *); + int (*swap_rw)(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *iter); locking rules: All except dirty_folio and freepage may block @@ -290,6 +291,7 @@ is_partially_uptodate: yes error_remove_page: yes swap_activate: no swap_deactivate: no +swap_rw: yes, unlocks ====================== ======================== ========= =============== ->write_begin(), ->write_end() and ->readpage() may be called from @@ -392,15 +394,19 @@ cleaned, or an error value if not.
