Minchan Kim e447a0151f 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): Commit 19b7ccf865 ("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.
