Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm, swap: Enable THP SWAP for PowerPC Book3S64
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:17:50 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1781170904.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)

On PowerPC Book3S64, MMU is selected at runtime, so macros like PMD_SHIFT
are effectively runtime variables in the Book3S64 code. THP swap code uses
these macros for e.g. to size some of its array data structures based on
PMD_ORDER. This patch series makes that usage dependent on the runtime
variable and provides an upper-bound architecture override for cases (e.g.
SWAP_NR_ORDERS), where the runtime conversion is not considered beneficial.

This series increases bandwidth throughput with zram backend for swapout by
around 40-50% with Radix and 100-130% with Hash (Tested by Sayali)

Note that this patch series is based out of linux-next (next-20260608).

RFC -> v2:
==========
1. Send the unused leftovers change in swap.h separately [1]
2. Changed RFC Patch-3 design from runtime SWAP_NR_ORDERS to arch override
   (ARCH_MAX_PMD_ORDER) - suggested by Youngjun
3. Dropped RFC tag
