Subject: [PATCH 07/16] mm, swap: add xswap grow trigger on cluster allocation
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:44:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827094509.1016740-8-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827094509.1016740-1-hebaoquan@kylinos.cn>
When cluster_alloc_swap_entry() fails to find a free cluster and
the xswap device still has room to grow, expand the mapped range
by XSWAP_GROW_CLUSTERS clusters.
Since xswap is always SWP_SOLIDSTATE, no locks need to be dropped
before calling xswap_map_clusters(), global_cluster_lock is never
held on this path.
The grow sequence:
1. Check nr_clusters_mapped < nr_clusters and free list empty
2. Call xswap_map_clusters() to allocate and map more physical pages
3. Add newly mapped clusters to si->free_clusters under si->lock
4. Retry allocation from the fresh free clusters
This makes the xswap cluster space grow transparently as swap usage
increases, without any userspace intervention.
