Subject: [PATCH v5 07/19] mm, swap: refactor swapoff and add xswap_destroy
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 13:54:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109055455.536925-8-baoquan.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109055455.536925-1-baoquan.he@linux.dev>

From: Baoquan He <hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>

Extract __swapoff() from sys_swapoff() so the teardown logic can be
shared, and make it work for file-less devices.

Add xswap_destroy() to tear down a file-less xswap device by swap type,
exposed via /sys/kernel/mm/xswap/destroy. Writing a swap type tears down
that device; it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
