mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.12-rc1 commit 477cb7ba28892eda112c79d8f75d10edabfc3050 category: performance bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IBC5I1
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
Now swap cluster allocator arranges the clusters in LRU style, so the "cold" cluster stay at the head of nonfull lists are the ones that were used for allocation long time ago and still partially occupied. So if allocator can't find enough contiguous slots to satisfy an high order allocation, it's unlikely there will be slot being free on them to satisfy the allocation, at least in a short period.
As a result, nonfull cluster scanning will waste time repeatly scanning the unusable head of the list.
Also, multiple CPUs could content on the same head cluster of nonfull list. Unlike free clusters which are removed from the list when any CPU starts using it, nonfull cluster stays on the head.
So introduce a new list frag list, all scanned nonfull clusters will be moved to this list. Both for avoiding repeated scanning and contention.
Frag list is still used as fallback for allocations, so if one CPU failed to allocate one order of slots, it can still steal other CPU's clusters. And order 0 will favor the fragmented clusters to better protect nonfull clusters
If any slots on a fragment list are being freed, move the fragment list back to nonfull list indicating it worth another scan on the cluster. Compared to scan upon freeing a slot, this keep the scanning lazy and save some CPU if there are still other clusters to use.
It may seems unneccessay to keep the fragmented cluster on list at all if they can't be used for specific order allocation. But this will start to make sense once reclaim dring scanning is ready.
