Subject: [PATCH 16/16] mm, swap: allow setting xswap device priority at creation
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:45:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827094509.1016740-17-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827094509.1016740-1-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>
Let the create interface (/sys/kernel/mm/xswap/create) accept an
optional priority:
echo "<percent> [<prio>]" > /sys/kernel/mm/xswap/create
A missing prio means DEF_SWAP_PRIO; and permitted values are
DEF_SWAP_PRIO or 0..SWAP_FLAG_PRIO_MASK, being consistent with the
swapon(2) ABI. Like a regular swap device, prio is set once at creation
and is not chnageable whne the device is active; use xswap_destroy
then create to cange it.
