Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:15:50 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909161552.2335971-1-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)
find_next_to_unuse() walks a swap device one offset at a time. Slot
state now lives in a per cluster swap table, so patch 2 dismisses an
empty cluster with one counter read instead of SWAPFILE_CLUSTER table
reads.
Patch 1 is an unrelated one line comment fix noticed on the way.
A debug test confirmed the skip path runs, and swapoff completed
under load with no DEBUG_VM or lockdep splats.
Changes in v4:
- 2/2: put the measured swapoff times in the changelog (Andrew)
- 2/2: pick up Kairui's Acked-by and Baoquan's Reviewed-by
- Rebased on mm-new
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260806193228.458685-1-youngjun.park@lge.com
Changes in v3:
- 2/2: clamp the scan end with min_t() so it stops at si->max, rather
than running into the masked tail of the last cluster, which drops the
need to explain why walking that tail was safe (Barry)
- 2/2: compute ci_off only where it is used
- 1/2, 2/2: pick up Barry's Reviewed-by
- Rebased on mm-new
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260805141146.127776-1-youngjun.park@lge.com
