Subject: [RFC 0/4] mm, swap: Enable THP SWAP for PowerPC Book3S64
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 18:49:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1781000840.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
On PowerPC Book3S64, MMU is selected at runtime, so macros like PMD_SHIFT are
effectively runtime variables in the Book3S64 code. THP swap code uses these
macros for e.g. to size some of its array data structures based on PMD_ORDER.
This patch series makes that usage dependent on the runtime variable.
Sayali did some performance runs of this on Book3S64 with Radix and it gives
40-50% performance improvement. We also plan to run it with Hash, will soon
update the results.
Note that this patch series is based out of linux-next (next-20260608).
