  • 5d337b919   [PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device ... Browse Code »

    The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
    is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
    already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.

    The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
    untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
    valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
    demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
    reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
    even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
    overhead in the common case of a single swap device.

    So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
    (generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).

    If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
    add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
    to help the case of the single swap device too.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
