Subject: mm: swap: mTHP allocate swap entries from nonfull list
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2024 23:49:14 -0700
Track the nonfull cluster as well as the empty cluster on lists. Each
order has one nonfull cluster list.
The cluster will remember which order it was used during new cluster
allocation.
When the cluster has free entry, add to the nonfull[order] list. Â When
the free cluster list is empty, also allocate from the nonempty list of
that order.
This improves the mTHP swap allocation success rate.
There are limitations if the distribution of numbers of different orders
of mTHP changes a lot. e.g. there are a lot of nonfull cluster assign to
order A while later time there are a lot of order B allocation while very
little allocation in order A. Currently the cluster used by order A will
not reused by order B unless the cluster is 100% empty.
