Subject: mm/swap: fix stale comment on swap_info_struct::cluster_info
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:15:51 +0900

Patch series "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan", v4.

Speed up swapoff and reduce scanning stalls on large, mostly empty swap
devices by skipping empty clusters.  Reduce swapoff time on a 1 TiB device
from 158 ms to 94 ms after filling 128 GiB, and from 392 ms to 73 ms after
filling 512 GiB; expect little benefit when substantial swap data remains.

find_next_to_unuse() walks a swap device one offset at a time.  Slot state
now lives in a per cluster swap table, so patch 2 dismisses an empty
cluster with one counter read instead of SWAPFILE_CLUSTER table reads.

Patch 1 is an unrelated one line comment fix noticed on the way.

A debug test confirmed the skip path runs, and swapoff completed under
load with no DEBUG_VM or lockdep splats.


This patch (of 2):

setup_swap_clusters_info() allocates cluster_info for every swap area, not
only for SSDs.
