[ Upstream commit 64158668ac ]
1/ Taking the i_rwsem for swap IO triggers lockdep warnings regarding
possible deadlocks with "fs_reclaim". These deadlocks could, I believe,
eventuate if a buffered read on the swapfile was attempted.
We don't need coherence with the page cache for a swap file, and
buffered writes are forbidden anyway. There is no other need for
i_rwsem during direct IO. So never take it for swap_rw()
2/ generic_write_checks() explicitly forbids writes to swap, and
performs checks that are not needed for swap. So bypass it
for swap_rw().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
