[PATCH v2 0/4] skip swapcache for super fast device

[PATCH v2 0/4] skip swapcache for super fast device

[Minchan Kim]

With fast swap storage, platform want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.

The rw_page based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress
test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm.

This patch aims for reducing swap-in latency via skipping swapcache
if swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device.

It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead,
from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

Andrew, [1] is zram specific patch so could be applied separately
but this patch is based on that so I include it in this series.

* From v1
  * style fix
  * a bug fix
  * drop page-cluster based readahead off
    * This regression could be solved by other patch from Huang.

[PATCH v2 1/4] zram: set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES once

[Minchan Kim]

[1] fixed weird thing(i.e., reset BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES flag
unconditionally whenever revalidat_disk is called) so zram doesn't
need to reset the flag any more whenever revalidating the bdev.
Instead, set the flag just once when the zram device is created.

It shouldn't change any behavior.

This patch introduces BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO to indicate such devices.
With it, we could use various optimization techniques.

[PATCH v2 3/4] mm:swap: introduce SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO

[Minchan Kim]

If rw-page based fast storage is used for swap devices, we need to
detect it to enhance swap IO operations.
This patch is preparation for optimizing of swap-in operation with
next patch.

[PATCH v2 4/4] mm:swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device

[Minchan Kim]

With fast swap storage, platform want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.

The rw_page based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress
test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm.

This patch aims for reducing swap-in latency via skipping swapcache
if swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device.
It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead,
from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

[PATCH v2 2/4] bdi: introduce BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO

[Minchan Kim]

By discussion[1], someday we will remove rw_page function. If so, we need
something to detect such super-fast storage which synchronous IO operation
like current rw_page is always win.

This patch introduces BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO to indicate such devices.
With it, we could use various optimization techniques.
