Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/11] mm, swap: add xswap grow trigger on cluster allocation
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 22:04:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727140503.1060918-3-baoquan.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727140503.1060918-1-baoquan.he@linux.dev>

When cluster_alloc_swap_entry() fails to find a free cluster and
the xswap device still has room to grow, expand the mapped range
by XSWAP_GROW_CLUSTERS clusters.

Since xswap is always SWP_SOLIDSTATE, no locks need to be dropped
before calling xswap_map_clusters() — global_cluster_lock is never
held on this path.

The grow sequence:
1. Check nr_clusters_mapped < nr_clusters and free list empty
2. Call xswap_map_clusters() to allocate and map more physical pages
3. Add newly mapped clusters to si->free_clusters under si->lock
4. Retry allocation from the fresh free clusters

This makes the xswap cluster space grow transparently as swap usage
increases, without any userspace intervention.
