Subject: [RFC v2] zswap: Add CONFIG_ZSWAP_IO_SWITCH to handle swap IO issue
This is the second version of this patch. The previous version is in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/11/935
I updated the commit introduction and Kconfig because it is not clear.
Currently, I use a VM that has 2 CPUs, 4G memory and 4G swap file.
I found that swap will affect the IO performance when it is running.
So I open zswap to handle it because it just use CPU cycles but not
disk IO.
It work OK but I found that zswap is slower than normal swap in this
VM. zswap is about 300M/s and normal swap is about 500M/s. (The reason
is disk inside VM has fscache in host machine.)
So open zswap is make memory shrinker slower but good for IO performance
in this VM.
So I just want zswap work when the disk of the swap file is under high
IO load.
This commit is designed for this idea.
It add two parameters read_in_flight_limit and write_in_flight_limit to
zswap.
In zswap_frontswap_store, pages will be stored to zswap only when
the IO in flight number of swap device is bigger than
zswap_read_in_flight_limit or zswap_write_in_flight_limit
when zswap is enabled.
Then the zswap just work when the IO in flight number of swap device
is low.
