    frontswap: get rid of swap_lock dependency · 4f89849d
    Minchan Kim 提交于
    Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
    atomic about frontswap's first appearance.  IOW, frontswap is not present
    and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
    swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
    doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
    working on frontswap.
    
    So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.
