Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] skip swapcache for super fast device
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 16:09:57 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1505805001-30187-1-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)
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.
