This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm. It's from Hugh and I slightly changed it. Hugh's original changelog: swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is sequential. This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant overhead. This patch adds very simplistic random read detection. Stealing the PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages() simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens its readahead window accordingly. There is little science to its heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective. The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that). Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0 (1-page reads: no readahead). HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD. Seq for sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for the same number of random touches. Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping; Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs. One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not optimize Shmem: seen below. Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned, 50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below. HDD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 73921 76210 75611 76904 78191 121542 Seq Shmem 73601 73176 73855 72947 74543 118322 Rand Anon 895392 831243 871569 845197 846496 841680 Rand Shmem 1058375 1053486 827935 764955 764376 756489 SSD Vanilla Shaohua HughOld HughNew HughPC4 HughPC0 Seq Anon 24634 24198 24673 25107 21614 70018 Seq Shmem 24959 24932 25052 25703 22030 69678 Rand Anon 43014 26146 28075 25989 26935 25901 Rand Shmem 45349 45215 28249 24268 24138 24332 These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or degradation, and wider testing would be welcome. Shaohua Li: Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's patch. I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if there is no hit. And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good actually. I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out sequentially. So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink readahead size too fast. Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average): Vanilla Hugh New Seq 356 370 360 Random 4525 2447 2444 Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat 2'. The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload. swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in both workloads. These are expected behavior. while in Vanilla, swapin is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong readahead). Original patches by: Shaohua Li and Konstantin Khlebnikov.
