Subject: [PATCH v6 21/22] vswap: batch contiguous vswap free calls
Date: Tue,  5 May 2026 08:38:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505153854.1612033-22-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505153854.1612033-1-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.
