[PATCH v2 2/3] swap: do not store private swap files on swap_list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jamie Liu <jamieliu@xxxxxxxxxx>

swap_list is used by get_swap_page() to find public swap files to swap
to; in the case that there are many private swap files and few public
swap files, get_swap_page() may waste time iterating through private
swap files it can't swap to. Change _enable_swap_info() to not insert
private swap files onto swap_list; this improves the performance of
get_swap_page() in such cases, at the cost of making
swap_store_swap_device() and swapoff() minutely slower (both of which
are non-critical).
