[PATCH 0/3] mm/zram: route block swap I/O through swap_ops

[Jianyue Wu]

This series builds on Christoph Hellwig's swap batching rework that
moves block swap onto struct swap_iocb and per-backend struct
swap_ops handlers [1].  Christoph's patches unify batching for
ordinary block devices and swap files.  zram still needs a custom
path because swap slots map to compressed pages, not disk sectors.

The first patch adds swap_register_block_ops() so a block driver can
install custom submit_read/submit_write handlers when swapon targets
its block device.  The default swap_bdev_ops path is unchanged for
devices that do not register.

The second patch registers zram_swap_ops at module init.  On write,
the swap core still batches folios into a swap_iocb.  zram maps each
folio to a slot index and stores it through zram_write_page() instead
of building one bio per page.  Read handling keeps slot_lock and
mark_slot_accessed() in one critical section.  Writeback-enabled zram
falls back to swap_bdev_submit_read() for ZRAM_WB slots.

The third patch moves slot_free_notify into swap_ops next to the
other zram swap callbacks, and documents the locking contract for
that hook.

Applied on top of Christoph Hellwig's "better block swap batching and
a different take on swap_ops" series [1].
