Re: [PATCH 2.6.20-rc5 1/1] MM: enhance Linux swap subsystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Patched against 2.6.19 leads to:

mm/vmscan.c: In function `shrink_pvma_scan_ptes':
mm/vmscan.c:1340: too many arguments to function `page_remove_rmap'

So changed
 page_remove_rmap(series.pages[i], vma);
to
 page_remove_rmap(series.pages[i]);


I've worked on 2.6.19, but when update to 2.6.20-rc5, the function is changed.

But your patch doesn't offer any swap-performance improvement for both swsusp
or tmpfs.  Swap-in is still half speed of Swap-out.


Current Linux page allocation fairly provides pages for every process, since
swap daemon only is started when memory is low, so when it starts to scan
active_list, the private pages of processes are messed up with each other,
vmscan.c:shrink_list() is the only approach to attach disk swap page to page on
active_list, as the result, all private pages lost their affinity on swap
partition. I will give a testlater...
