Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] mm/swapfile: add percpu_ref support for swap

We will use percpu-refcount to serialize against concurrent swapoff. This
patch adds the percpu_ref support for swap.

The comments aren't general enough. We use this to check whether the
swap device has been fully initialized, etc. May be something as below?

You cannot remove this without changing get/put_swap_device(). It's
better to squash at least PATCH 1-2.

I think the comments (after some revision) can be moved before
percpu_ref_kill(). The synchronize_rcu() comments can be merged.

I don't think it's necessary to add another flag p->ref_initialized. We
can distinguish newly allocated and reused swap_info_struct in alloc_swap_info().

If newly allocated swap_info_struct failed to init percpu_ref, it will be considered as
a reused one in alloc_swap_info() _but_ the field users of swap_info_struct is actually
uninitialized. Does this make sense for you?

Many Thanks for quick review.

We can call percpu_ref_init() just after kvzalloc() in alloc_swap_info().

Yes, we can do it this way. But using ref_initialized might make the code more straightforward
and simple?

I think that it's simpler to call percpu_ref_init() in
alloc_swap_info(). We can just call percpu_ref_init() for allocated
swap_info_struct blindly, and call percpu_ref_exit() if we reuse.
