From 6a991fc72d1243b8da0c644d3147d3ec41a0b281 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Huang, Ying" Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:45:19 -0800 Subject: mm/swap: fix kernel message in swap_info_get() Patch series "mm/swap: Regular page swap optimizations", v5. Times have changed. Coming generation of Solid state Block device latencies are getting down to sub 100 usec, which is within an order of magnitude of DRAM, and their performance is orders of magnitude higher than the single- spindle rotational media we've swapped to historically. This could benefit many usage scenearios. For example cloud providers who overcommit their memory (as VM don't use all the memory provisioned). Having a fast swap will allow them to be more aggressive in memory overcommit and fit more VMs to a platform. In our testing [see footnote], the median latency that the kernel adds to a page fault is 15 usec, which comes quite close to the amount that will be contributed by the underlying I/O devices. The software latency comes mostly from contentions on the locks protecting the radix tree of the swap cache and also the locks protecting the individual swap devices. The lock contentions already consumed 35% of cpu cycles in our test. In the very near future, software latency will become the bottleneck to swap performnace as block device I/O latency gets within the shouting distance of DRAM speed. This patch set, reduced the median page fault latency from 15 usec to 4 usec (375% reduction) for DRAM based pmem block device. This patch (of 9): swap_info_get() is used not only in swap free code path but also in page_swapcount(), etc. So the original kernel message in swap_info_get() is not correct now. Fix it via replacing "swap_free" to "swap_info_get" in the message.
