Subject: [PATCH 9/9] mm, swap: use a single page for swap table when the size fits
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2025 03:20:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250822192023.13477-10-ryncsn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250822192023.13477-1-ryncsn@gmail.com>
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
We have a cluster size of 512 slots. Each slot consumes 8 bytes in swap
table so the swap table size of each cluster is exactly one page (4K).
If that condition is true, allocate one page direct and disable the slab
cache to reduce the memory usage of swap table and avoid fragmentation.
