[PATCH 12/13] mm, swap: use a global swap cluster for non-rotation device

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

 



From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Non-rotation (SSD / ZRAM) device can tolerate fragmentations so the goal
of SWAP allocator is to avoid contention of clusters. So it used a
per-CPU cluster design, and each CPU will be using a different cluster
as much as possible.

But HDD is very sensitive to fragmentations, contention is trivial compared
to this. So just use one global cluster instead. This ensured each order
will be wring to a same cluster as much as possible, which helps to make
the IO more continuous.

This ensures the performance of cluster allocator is as good as the old
allocator. Test after this commit compared to before this series:

make -j32 with tinyconfig, using 1G memcg limit and HDD swap:
