[PATCH v3 4/7] mm/swap: introduce swapin_entry for unified readahead policy

From: Kairui Song
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 12:56:05 EST


From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce swapin_entry which merges swapin_readahead and swapin_direct
making it the main entry for swapin pages, and use a unified swapin
readahead policy.

This commit makes swapoff make use of this new helper and skip readahead
for SYNCHRONOUS_IO device since it's not helpful here. Now swapping
off a 10G ZRAM (lzo-rle) after same workload is faster since readahead
is skipped and overhead is reduced.

Before:
time swapoff /dev/zram0
real 0m12.337s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m12.329s

After:
time swapoff /dev/zram0
real 0m9.728s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m9.719s
