From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When the swap device is full (inuse_pages == pages), it should be
removed from the allocation available plist. If any slot is freed,
the swap device should be added back to the plist. Additionally,
during swapon or swapoff, the swap device is forcefully added
or removed.
Currently, the condition (inuse_pages == pages) is checked after
every counter update, then remove or add the device accordingly.
This is serialized by si->lock.
This commit decouples it from the protection of si->lock and reworked
plist removal and adding, making it possible to get rid of the hard
dependency on si->lock in allocation path in later commits.
To achieve this, simply using another lock is not an optimal approach,
as the overhead is observable for a hot counter, and may cause complex
locking issues. Thus, this commit manages to make it a lock-free
atomic operation, by embedding the plist state into the second highest
bit of the atomic counter.
Simply making the counter an atomic will not work, if the update
and plist status check are not performed atomically, we may miss an
addition or removal. With the embedded info we can update the counter
and check the plist status with single atomic operations, and avoid
any extra overheads:
If the counter is full (inuse_pages == pages) and the off-list bit
is unset, we attempt to remove it from the plist. If the counter is
not full (inuse_pages != pages) and the off-list bit is set, we
attempt to add it to the plist. Removing, adding and bit update
is serialized with a lock, which is a cold path. Ordinary counter
updates will be lock-free.
