Subject: [PATCH v5 13/19] mm, swap: add xswap grow trigger on cluster allocation
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 13:54:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109055455.536925-14-baoquan.he@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109055455.536925-1-baoquan.he@linux.dev>
From: Baoquan He <hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>
Grow the mapped xswap range before it runs out. When usage reaches 85%
of the mapped range, map more clusters from cluster_alloc_swap_entry().
Grow to about 65% usage. This leaves free space in the mapped range
before the next grow at 85%, so one grow is not immediately followed by
another.
Mapping pages can sleep. Grow before the allocation that needs them,
not after it fails. xswap_grow() drops the per-CPU cluster lock around
xswap_map_clusters(), because mapping can sleep and the lock only
protects the per-CPU cache. xswap is always SWP_SOLIDSTATE, so this path
does not use global_cluster_lock.
Link the new clusters even if swapoff cleared SWP_WRITEOK while mapping.
The caller keeps the device alive, and the allocation path checks the
flag before taking a cluster. If try_to_unuse() then fails, the
reinserted device needs these clusters; otherwise they go away with the
device.
After a failed scan, retry the free list once. A concurrent free or
grow may have added clusters.
