The patch titled
Subject: mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-swap-fix-swap-readahead-marking.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking
In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages in
the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead
pages. This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and
influence the swap readahead algorithm too.
This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is newly
allocated and read from the disk.
When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate
increased from ~66% to ~86%.
