Subject: [PATCH v6 4/8] mm/shmem, swap: tidy up swap entry splitting
From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>
Instead of keeping different paths of splitting the entry before the swap
in start, move the entry splitting after the swapin has put the folio in
swap cache (or set the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit). This way we only need one
place and one unified way to split the large entry. Whenever swapin
brought in a folio smaller than the shmem swap entry, split the entry and
recalculate the entry and index for verification.
This removes duplicated codes and function calls, reduces LOC, and the
split is less racy as it's guarded by swap cache now. So it will have a
lower chance of repeated faults due to raced split. The compiler is also
able to optimize the coder further:
bloat-o-meter results with GCC 14:
With DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH (-fno-inline-functions-called-once):
./scripts/bloat-o-meter mm/shmem.o.old mm/shmem.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-143 (-143)
Function old new delta
shmem_swapin_folio 2358 2215 -143
Total: Before=32933, After=32790, chg -0.43%
With !DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH:
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 1069/-749 (320)
Function old new delta
shmem_swapin_folio 2871 3940 +1069
shmem_split_large_entry.isra 749 - -749
Total: Before=32806, After=33126, chg +0.98%
Since shmem_split_large_entry is only called in one place now. The
compiler will either generate more compact code, or inlined it for
better performance.
