Currently, shmem uses cluster readahead for all swap backends. Cluster
readahead is not a good solution for ramdisk based device (ZRAM), and
it's better to skip it.
After switching to the new helper, most benchmarks showed a good result:
- Single file sequence read on ramdisk:
perf stat --repeat 20 dd if=/tmpfs/test of=/dev/null bs=1M count=8192
(/tmpfs/test is a zero filled file, using brd as swap, 4G memcg limit)
Before: 22.248 +- 0.549
After: 22.021 +- 0.684 (-1.1%)
- shmem FIO test 1 on a Ryzen 5900HX:
fio -name=tmpfs --numjobs=16 --directory=/tmpfs --size=960m \
--ioengine=mmap --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:0.5 \
--time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=5m --group_reporting
(using brd as swap, 2G memcg limit)
Before:
bw ( MiB/s): min= 1167, max= 1732, per=100.00%, avg=1460.82, stdev= 4.38, samples=9536
iops : min=298938, max=443557, avg=373964.41, stdev=1121.27, samples=9536
After (+3.5%):
bw ( MiB/s): min= 1285, max= 1738, per=100.00%, avg=1512.88, stdev= 4.34, samples=9456
iops : min=328957, max=445105, avg=387294.21, stdev=1111.15, samples=9456
- shmem FIO test 2 on a Ryzen 5900HX:
fio -name=tmpfs --numjobs=16 --directory=/tmpfs --size=960m \
--ioengine=mmap --rw=randread --random_distribution=zipf:1.2 \
--time_based --ramp_time=1m --runtime=5m --group_reporting
(using brd as swap, 2G memcg limit)
Before:
bw ( MiB/s): min= 5296, max= 7112, per=100.00%, avg=6131.93, stdev=17.09, samples=9536
iops : min=1355934, max=1820833, avg=1569769.11, stdev=4375.93, samples=9536
After (+3.1%):
bw ( MiB/s): min= 5466, max= 7173, per=100.00%, avg=6324.51, stdev=16.66, samples=9521
iops : min=1399355, max=1836435, avg=1619068.90, stdev=4263.94, samples=9521
So cluster readahead doesn't help much even for single sequence read,
and for random stress tests, the performance is better without it.
Considering both memory and swap devices will get more fragmented
slowly, and commonly used ZRAM consumes much more CPU than plain
ramdisk, false readahead could occur more frequently and waste
more CPU. Direct SWAP is cheaper, so use the new helper and skip
read ahead for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO device.
