Patch series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()", v2. These patches aim to simplify zswap_swapoff() by removing the unnecessary trees cleanup code. Patch 1 makes sure that the order of operations during swapoff is enforced correctly, making sure the simplification in patch 2 is correct in a future-proof manner. This patch (of 2): In swap_range_free(), we update inuse_pages then do some cleanups (arch invalidation, zswap invalidation, swap cache cleanups, etc). During swapoff, try_to_unuse() checks that inuse_pages is 0 to make sure all swap entries are freed. Make sure we only update inuse_pages after we are done with the cleanups in swap_range_free(), and use the proper memory barriers to enforce it. This makes sure that code following try_to_unuse() can safely assume that swap_range_free() ran for all entries in thr swapfile (e.g. swap cache cleanup, zswap_swapoff()). In practice, this currently isn't a problem because swap_range_free() is called with the swap info lock held, and the swapoff code happens to spin for that after try_to_unuse(). However, this seems fragile and unintentional, so make it more relable and future-proof. This also facilitates a following simplification of zswap_swapoff().

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.
