Swap cluster setup will try to shuffle the clusters on initialization. It was helpful to avoid contention for the swap cache space. The cluster size (2M) was much smaller than each swap cache space (64M), so shuffling the cluster means the allocator will try to allocate swap slots that are in different swap cache spaces for each CPU, reducing the chance of two CPUs using the same swap cache space, and hence reducing the contention. Now, swap cache is managed by swap clusters, this shuffle is pointless. Just remove it, and clean up related macros. This also improves the HDD swap performance as shuffling IO is a bad idea for HDD, and now the shuffling is gone. Test have shown a ~40% performance gain for HDD [1]: Doing sequential swap in of 8G data using 8 processes with usemem, average of 3 test runs: Before: 1270.91 KB/s per process After: 1849.54 KB/s per process Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAMgjq7AdauQ8=X0zeih2r21QoV=-WWj1hyBxLWRzq74n-C=-Ng@mail.gmail.com/ [1] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250916160100.31545-14-ryncsn@gmail.com Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202504241621.f27743ec-lkp@intel.com Signed-off-by: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com> Acked-by: Chris Li <chrisl@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Barry Song <baohua@kernel.org> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Chris Li <chrisl@kernel.org> Cc: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Kemeng Shi <shikemeng@huaweicloud.com> Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Cc: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Cc: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Cc: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
