[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm, swap: use a global swap cluster for non-rotation devices
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swap-use-a-global-swap-cluster-for-non-rotation-devices.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm, swap: use a global swap cluster for non-rotation devices
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:57:31 +0800

Non-rotational devices (SSD / ZRAM) can tolerate fragmentation, so the
goal of the SWAP allocator is to avoid contention for clusters.  It uses a
per-CPU cluster design, and each CPU will use a different cluster as much
as possible.

However, HDDs are very sensitive to fragmentation, contention is trivial
in comparison.  Therefore, we use one global cluster instead.  This
ensures that each order will be written to the same cluster as much as
possible, which helps make the I/O more continuous.

This ensures that the performance of the cluster allocator is as good as
that of the old allocator.  Tests after this commit compared to those
before this series:

Tested using 'make -j32' with tinyconfig, a 1G memcg limit, and HDD swap:
