Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-shmem-swap-never-use-swap-cache-and-readahead-for-swp_synchronous_io.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2025 11:54:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250802185442.49715C4CEEF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/shmem, swap: never use swap cache and readahead for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-shmem-swap-never-use-swap-cache-and-readahead-for-swp_synchronous_io.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/shmem, swap: never use swap cache and readahead for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:53:03 +0800
For SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO devices, if a cache bypassing THP swapin failed due
to reasons like memory pressure, partially conflicting swap cache or ZSWAP
enabled, shmem will fallback to cached order 0 swapin.
Right now the swap cache still has a non-trivial overhead, and readahead
is not helpful for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO devices, so we should always skip
the readahead and swap cache even if the swapin falls back to order 0.
So handle the fallback logic without falling back to the cached read.
