[PATCH 0/9] Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code
From: Kemeng Shi
Date: Thu Mar 13 2025 - 08:09:38 EST
Hi All,
This series contains some cleanups and improvements which are made
during learning swapfile. Here is a summary of the changes:
1. Function nameing improvments.
-Use "put" instead of "free" to name functions which only do actual free
when count drops to zero.
-Use "entry" to name function only frees one swap slot. Use "entries" to
name function could may free multi swap slots within one cluster. Use
"_nr" suffix to name function which could free multi swap slots spanning
cross multi clusters.
2. Eliminate the need to set swap slot to intermediate SWAP_HAS_CACHE
value before do actual free by using swap_entry_range_free()
3. Add helpers swap_entries_put_map() and swap_entries_put_cache() as a
general-purpose routine to free swap entries within a single cluster
which will try batch-remove first and fallback to put eatch entry
indvidually with cluster lock acquired/released only once. By using
these helpers, we could remove repeated code, levarage batch-remove in
more cases and aoivd to acquire/release cluster lock for each single
swap entry.
Kemeng Shi (9):
mm: swap: rename __swap_[entry/entries]_free[_locked] to
swap_[entry/entries]_put[_locked]
mm: swap: factor out the actual swap entry freeing logic to new helper
mm: swap: use __swap_entry_free() to free swap entry in
swap_entry_put_locked()
mm: swap: remove unneeded VM_BUG_ON(*map != SWAP_HAS_CACHE) in
swap_entry_range_free()
mm: swap: use swap_entries_free() drop last 1 flag in
swap_entries_put_nr()
mm: swap: drop last SWAP_MAP_SHMEM flag in batch in
swap_entries_put_nr()
mm: swap: free each cluster individually in swap_entries_put_map_nr()
mm: swap: factor out helper to drop cache of entries within a single
cluster
mm: swap: replace cluster_swap_free_nr() with
swap_entries_put_[map/cache]()
