Hi: What's the reason behind: void swapin_readahead(swp_entry_t entry) in mm/memory.c Is it just because that it does not cause seek time? Does swap reads from a swap area also exhibit spacial locality? i.e. adjacent entries in swap area would likely be accessed in sequence? (since they were temporally adjacent before swapping out?) Would that cause a lot of unnecessary swap readaheads? I'm doing a measurement, and surprising found that a lot of swap in readaheads are wasted. I'm not sure if the measurement is wrong.
