[PATCH 4/7] mm, swap: don't update the counter up-front

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

 



From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The counter update before allocation was useful to avoid unnecessary
scan when device is full, so it will abort early if the counter
indicated the device is full. But that is an uncommon case, and now
scanning of a full device is very fast, so the up-front update is not
helpful any more.

Remove it and simplify the slot allocation logic.
