[PATCH 6/8] Direct Migration V3: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback

This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that
may be used by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.

The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback
(migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

V2->V3:
- export functions for filesystems that are modules and for modules that
  perform migration by calling migrate_pages().
- Fix macro name clash. Fix build on UP and systems without CONFIG_MIGRATION

V1->V2:
- Fix CONFIG_MIGRATION handling
