Subject: [PATCH v8 12/30] mm/swap: allow duplicating a range of swap entries
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 02:52:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002095503.3585565-13-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002095503.3585565-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
swap_dup_entry_direct() duplicates one slot at a time. The PMD swap entry
fork path needs HPAGE_PMD_NR of them, and doing that one slot at a time
would take and drop the cluster lock HPAGE_PMD_NR times.
Give it an @nr argument and rename it swap_dup_entries_direct(), and do the
same for swap_retry_table_alloc(), whose GFP_KERNEL retry has to cover the
same range - the caller does not know which slot in it overflowed. Keep the
old single-slot names as inline wrappers so existing callers are untouched.
Unlike the put side, @nr is handed straight to the per-cluster helper, so
the range has to sit inside one cluster. That holds for the only caller
passing nr > 1: a PMD swap entry only exists under CONFIG_THP_SWAP, where
SWAPFILE_CLUSTER == HPAGE_PMD_NR, and a PMD-order folio's slots are only
ever allocated at a cluster head (see alloc_swap_scan_cluster()), so the
range is exactly one cluster. Reject a crossing range with -EINVAL so a
future caller cannot walk off the end of the swap table.
No functional change intended.
