Subject: zram: set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES once
With fast swap storage, the platform wants to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.
The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress
test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm.
This patchset reduces swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the swap
device is a synchronous device like a rw_page() based device.
It enhances by 45% my swapin test (5G sequential swapin, no readahead)
from 2.41sec to 1.64sec.
This patch (of 4):
19b7ccf8651d ("block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()") fixed a
weird thing (i.e., reset BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES flag unconditionally
whenever revalidat_disk is called) so zram doesn't need to reset the flag
any more when revalidating the bdev. Instead, set the flag just once when
the zram device is created.
It shouldn't change any behavior.
