[PATCH RFC v3 4/4] mm: fall back to four small folios if mTHP allocation fails

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

 



From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

The swapfile can compress/decompress at 4 * PAGES granularity, reducing
CPU usage and improving the compression ratio. However, if allocating an
mTHP fails and we fall back to a single small folio, the entire large
block must still be decompressed. This results in a 16 KiB area requiring
4 page faults, where each fault decompresses 16 KiB but retrieves only
4 KiB of data from the block. To address this inefficiency, we instead
fall back to 4 small folios, ensuring that each decompression occurs
only once.

Allowing swap_read_folio() to decompress and read into an array of
4 folios would be extremely complex, requiring extensive changes
throughout the stack, including swap_read_folio, zeromap,
zswap, and final swap implementations like zRAM. In contrast,
having these components fill a large folio with 4 subpages is much
simpler.

To avoid a full-stack modification, we introduce a per-CPU order-2
large folio as a buffer. This buffer is used for swap_read_folio(),
after which the data is copied into the 4 small folios. Finally, in
do_swap_page(), all these small folios are mapped.
