Subject[PATCH] mm/swap: add independed bio pool for swap
From
Date
This bio pool guarantees reclaiming progress for anonymous pages.
All avaliable bio in fs_bio_set may be borrowed by writeback which may
never ends, because disk too slow or broken. I have seen this situation in
real life in system where was a lot of bio requests to a loop device which
laying on top of special fuse-based filesystem.
