I have an updated version of this 02/15 patch below. It passed testing
and is a lot less invasive than the previous release. As you suggested,
it uses page flags and the bulk of the complexity is only executed if
someone is using network-backed storage.

Performance is generally not the concern of the users of swap-over-N[FS|BD].
In the cases I am aware of, they just want an emergency overflow. One user
for example had an application with a sparse mapping larger than physical
memory. During the workload execution it would occasionally push small
parts out to swap and needed network-based swap due to the lack of a local
disk. The performance impact was not a concern because swapping was rare.

Specifically we wanted to reduce or stop page reclaim calling ->writepage()
for file-backed pages because it generated awful IO patterns and deep
call stacks. We still write anonymous pages from page reclaim because we
do not have a dedicated thread for writing to swap. It is expected that
the call stack for writing to network storage would be less than a
filesystem.

NBD is a block device so filesystem restrictions like you mention do not
apply. In NFS, the direct_IO paths are used to write pages not
->writepage so again the restriction does not apply.

Compressing swap only gets you so far. For some workloads, at some point
the anonymous pages have to be written to swap somewhere. If there is a
local disk, great, use it. If there is no disk, then either
hardware-based solutions are needed (HBA that exposes the network as a
block device, works but is expensive), virtualisation is used (the host
os exposes a network-based swapfile as a block device to the guest but
only usable in virtualisation) or you need something like these patches.

Here is the revised 02/15 patch

=== CUT HERE ===
mm: sl[au]b: Add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages

Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the
machine hanging due to a lack of memory.  To prevent this, only
callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing
an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once
they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers
consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access
to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves.

Pages allocated from the reserve are returned with page->pfmemalloc
set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be
protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set
to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If
one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather
than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records
if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and
uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary
GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to
avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB.

In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators
can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available
because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.
