Subject: [PATCH] riscv: enable THP_SWAP for RV64
I have a Sipeed Lichee RV dock board which only has 512MB DDR, so
memory optimizations such as swap on zram are helpful. As is seen
in commit d0637c505f8a ("arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64") and
commit bd4c82c22c367e ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after
swapped out"), THP_SWAP can improve the swap throughput significantly.
Enable THP_SWAP for RV64, testing the micro-benchmark which is
introduced by commit d0637c505f8a ("arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64")
shows below numbers on the Lichee RV dock board:
thp swp throughput w/o patch: 66908 bytes/ms (mean of 10 tests)
thp swp throughput w/ patch: 322638 bytes/ms (mean of 10 tests)
Improved by 382%!
