Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 13/18] mm/swap: drop swap active plist
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:11:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2ef61349ebae2f178e5dafff2ac31d80ade23ac3.1793106426.git.lianux.mm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793106426.git.lianux.mm@gmail.com>
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
Remove swap_active_head and the associated plist_node. Device identity
lookups can use the writable swap_info iterator without ordering.
Keep priority ordering for the block-cgroup swap throttle target by
walking the priority queue under the topology reader. Choose the first
unmasked, writable, non-offlist device with a backing block device.
Check WRITEOK and OFFLIST as well as the pointer tag because disable
and full transitions can temporarily leave an unmasked entry.
This read-only lookup does not consume per-CPU allocation quotas or
change retry cursors. It avoids making the throttle disk depend on
swapon's swap-type assignment order when devices have different
priorities.
