Subject: [PATCH v5 09/19] mm, swap: use a stable id for xswap devices
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 13:54:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109055455.536925-10-baoquan.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109055455.536925-1-baoquan.he@linux.dev>

From: Baoquan He <hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>

Give each xswap device a 64-bit id from a counter. The id is never
reused. Show "xswap<id>" in /proc/swaps and use the same id in
debugfs. Destroy matches the id, so an old name fails with -ENODEV
instead of hitting a new device.

This avoids names based on the swap type, which can be reused after
swapoff. The swap type is still used inside the kernel and in dmesg.
