+ * Due to the asynchronous nature of the backends loading potentially
+ * _after_ the swap system has been activated, we have chokepoints
+ * on all frontswap functions to not call the backend until the backend
+ * has registered.
+ *
+ * Specifically when no backend is registered (nobody called
+ * frontswap_register_ops) all calls to frontswap_init (which is done via
+ * swapon -> enable_swap_info -> frontswap_init) are registered and remembered
+ * (via the setting of need_init bitmap) but fail to create tmem_pools. When a
+ * backend registers with frontswap at some later point the previous
+ * calls to frontswap_init are executed (by iterating over the need_init
+ * bitmap) to create tmem_pools and set the respective poolids. All of that is
+ * guarded by us using atomic bit operations on the 'need_init' bitmap.
+ *
+ * This would not guards us against the user deciding to call swapoff right as
+ * we are calling the backend to initialize (so swapon is in action).
+ * Fortunatly for us, the swapon_mutex has been taked by the callee so we are
+ * OK. The other scenario where calls to frontswap_store (called via
+ * swap_writepage) is racing with frontswap_invalidate_area (called via
+ * swapoff) is again guarded by the swap subsystem.
+ *
+ * While no backend is registered all calls to frontswap_[store|load|
+ * invalidate_area|invalidate_page] are ignored or fail.
+ *
+ * The time between the backend being registered and the swap file system
+ * calling the backend (via the frontswap_* functions) is indeterminate as
+ * frontswap_ops is not atomic_t (or a value guarded by a spinlock).
+ * That is OK as we are comfortable missing some of these calls to the newly
+ * registered backend.
+ *
+ * Obviously the opposite (unloading the backend) must be done after all
+ * the frontswap_[store|load|invalidate_area|invalidate_page] start
+ * ignorning or failing the requests - at which point frontswap_ops
+ * would have to be made in some fashion atomic.
