Zhiguo reported that swap release could be a serious bottleneck
during process exits[1]. With mTHP, we have the opportunity to
batch free swaps.
Thanks to the work of Chris and Kairui[2], I was able to achieve
this optimization with minimal code changes by building on their
efforts.
If swap_count is 1, which is likely true as most anon memory are
private, we can free all contiguous swap slots all together.

Ran the below test program for measuring the bandwidth of munmap
using zRAM and 64KiB mTHP:

  #include <sys/mman.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>

  unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
  {
         return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
  }

  main()
  {
         struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;
         int i;
  #define SIZE 1024*1024*1024
         void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                                 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
         if (!p) {
                 perror("fail to get memory");
                 exit(-1);
         }

         madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
         memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */

         madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);

         gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
         munmap(p, SIZE);
         gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);

         printf("munmap in bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
                         SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
  }

The result is as below (munmap bandwidth):
                 mm-unstable  mm-unstable-with-patch
    round1       21053761      63161283
    round2       21053761      63161283
    round3       21053761      63161283
    round4       20648881      67108864
    round5       20648881      67108864

munmap bandwidth becomes 3X faster.

I'm wondering if we could find a way to clean this up to achieve here:


if (WARN_ON(end_offset > si->max))
	goto out;

/*
 * First free all entries in the range.$
 */
any_only_cache = __free_swap_entries(si, entry, nr);

/*
 * Short-circuit the below loop if none of the entries had their
 * reference drop to zero.
 */
if (!any_only_cache)
	goto out;




Whereby move the fallback loop in that new function

static bool __free_swap_entries(struct swap_info_struct *si,
		swp_entry_t entry, int nr)
{
	const unsigned long start_offset = swp_offset(entry);
	const unsigned long end_offset = start_offset + nr;
	bool any_only_cache = false;

	if (nr > 1 && swap_count(data_race(si->swap_map[start_offset]) == 1)) {
		[... what try_batch_swap_entries_free() would do ...]
	}

fallback:
	for (offset = start_offset; offset < end_offset; offset++) {
		if (data_race(si->swap_map[offset])) {
		[... what the fallback code would do ...]
	}
	return any_only_cache;
}
