[PATCH v3 0/7] swapin refactor for optimization and unified readahead

[Kairui Song <ryncsn@gmail.com>]

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

This series tries to unify and clean up the swapin path, introduce minor
optimization, and make both shmem swapoff make use of SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
flag to skip readahead and swapcache for better performance.

Test results:
- swap out 10G zero-filled data to ZRAM then read them in:
  Before: 11143285 us
  After:  10692644 us (+4.1%)

- swapping off a 10G ZRAM (lzo-rle) after same workload:
  Before:
  time swapoff /dev/zram0
  real    0m12.337s
  user    0m0.001s
  sys     0m12.329s

  After:
  time swapoff /dev/zram0
  real    0m9.728s
  user    0m0.001s
  sys     0m9.719s

- shmem FIO test 1 on a Ryzen 5900HX:
  fio -name=tmpfs --numjobs=16 --directory=/tmpfs --size=960m \
    --ioengine=mmap --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:0.5 \
    --time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=5m --group_reporting
  (using brd as swap, 2G memcg limit)

  Before:
    bw (  MiB/s): min= 1167, max= 1732, per=100.00%, avg=1460.82, stdev= 4.38, samples=9536
    iops        : min=298938, max=443557, avg=373964.41, stdev=1121.27, samples=9536
  After (+3.5%):
    bw (  MiB/s): min= 1285, max= 1738, per=100.00%, avg=1512.88, stdev= 4.34, samples=9456
    iops        : min=328957, max=445105, avg=387294.21, stdev=1111.15, samples=9456

- shmem FIO test 2 on a Ryzen 5900HX:
  fio -name=tmpfs --numjobs=16 --directory=/tmpfs --size=960m \
    --ioengine=mmap --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:1.2 \
    --time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=5m --group_reporting
  (using brd as swap, 2G memcg limit)

  Before:
    bw (  MiB/s): min= 5296, max= 7112, per=100.00%, avg=6131.93, stdev=17.09, samples=9536
    iops        : min=1355934, max=1820833, avg=1569769.11, stdev=4375.93, samples=9536
  After (+3.1%):
    bw (  MiB/s): min= 5466, max= 7173, per=100.00%, avg=6324.51, stdev=16.66, samples=9521

V2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240102175338.62012-1-ryncsn@gmail.com/
Update from V2:
  - Many code path clean up (merge swapin_entry with swapin_entry_mpol,
    drop second param of mem_cgroup_swapin_charge_folio, swapin_entry
    takes a pointer to folio as return value instaed of pointer to
    boolean to reduce LOC and logic), thanks for Huang, Ying.
  - Don't use cluster readhead for swapoff, the performance is worse
    than VMA readahead for NVME.
  - Add a refactor patch for swap_cache_get_folio.

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231119194740.94101-1-ryncsn@gmail.com/T/
Update from V1:
  - Rebased based on mm-unstable.
  - Remove behaviour changing patches, will submit in seperate series
    later.
  - Code style, naming and comments updates.
  - Thanks to Chris Li for very detailed and helpful review of V1. Thanks
    to Matthew Wilcox and Huang Ying for helpful suggestions.

Kairui Song (7):
  mm/swapfile.c: add back some comment
  mm/swap: move no readahead swapin code to a stand-alone helper
  mm/swap: always account swapped in page into current memcg
  mm/swap: introduce swapin_entry for unified readahead policy
  mm/swap: avoid a duplicated swap cache lookup for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
  mm/swap, shmem: use unified swapin helper for shmem
  mm/swap: refactor swap_cache_get_folio
