Subject: [PATCH v5 21/21] vswap: batch contiguous vswap free calls
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:27:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320192735.748051-22-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320192735.748051-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>
In vswap_free(), we release and reacquire the cluster lock for every
single entry, even for non-disk-swap backends where the lock drop is
unnecessary. Batch consecutive free operations to avoid this overhead.
