Subject: [PATCH 07/19] mm/shmem: never bypass the swap cache for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 23:58:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029-swap-table-p2-v1-7-3d43f3b6ec32@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029-swap-table-p2-v1-0-3d43f3b6ec32@tencent.com>
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
Now the overhead of the swap cache is trivial to none, bypassing the
swap cache is no longer a valid optimization.
We have removed the cache bypass swapin for anon memory, now do the same
for shmem. Many helpers and functions can be dropped now.
