The ->rw_page method is a special purpose bypass of the usual bio handling path that is limited to single-page reads and writes and synchronous which causes a lot of extra code in the drivers, callers and the block layer. The only remaining user is the MM swap code. Switch that swap code to simply submit a single-vec on-stack bio an synchronously wait on it based on a newly added QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS flag set by the drivers that currently implement ->rw_page instead. While this touches one extra cache line and executes extra code, it simplifies the block layer and drivers and ensures that all feastures are properly supported by all drivers, e.g. right now ->rw_page bypassed cgroup writeback entirely.

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.
