mm/madvise.c: free swp_entry in madvise_free
When I test below piece of code with 12 processes(ie, 512M * 12 = 6G consume) on my (3G ram + 12 cpu + 8G swap, the madvise_free is siginficat slower (ie, 2x times) than madvise_dontneed. loop = 5; mmap(512M); while (loop--) { memset(512M); madvise(MADV_FREE or MADV_DONTNEED); } The reason is lots of swapin. 1) dontneed: 1,612 swapin 2) madvfree: 879,585 swapin If we find hinted pages were already swapped out when syscall is called, it's pointless to keep the swapped-out pages in pte. Instead, let's free the cold page because swapin is more expensive than (alloc page + zeroing). With this patch, it reduced swapin from 879,585 to 1,878 so elapsed time 1) dontneed: 6.10user 233.50system 0:50.44elapsed 2) madvfree: 6.03user 401.17system 1:30.67elapsed 2) madvfree + below patch: 6.70user 339.14system 1:04.45elapsed Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: "James E.J.
