Subject: mm/madvise.c: free swp_entry in madvise_free
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64b42bc1cfdf6e2c3ab7315f2ff56c31cd257370;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm/madvise.c: free swp_entry in madvise_free

When I test below piece of code with 12 processes(ie, 512M * 12 = 6G
consume) on my (3G ram + 12 cpu + 8G swap, the madvise_free is
siginficat slower (ie, 2x times) than madvise_dontneed.

     loop = 5;
     mmap(512M);
     while (loop--) {
             memset(512M);
             madvise(MADV_FREE or MADV_DONTNEED);
     }

The reason is lots of swapin.

1) dontneed: 1,612 swapin
2) madvfree: 879,585 swapin

If we find hinted pages were already swapped out when syscall is called,
it's pointless to keep the swapped-out pages in pte.  Instead, let's
free the cold page because swapin is more expensive than (alloc page +
zeroing).

With this patch, it reduced swapin from 879,585 to 1,878 so elapsed time

1) dontneed: 6.10user 233.50system 0:50.44elapsed
2) madvfree: 6.03user 401.17system 1:30.67elapsed
2) madvfree + below patch: 6.70user 339.14system 1:04.45elapsed
