Subject: [PATCH] mm, swap: Make CONFIG_THP_SWAP depends on CONFIG_SWAP
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 10:12:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180713021228.439-1-ying.huang@intel.com> (raw)
From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>
CONFIG_THP_SWAP should depend on CONFIG_SWAP, because it's
unreasonable to optimize swapping for THP (Transparent Huge Page)
without basic swapping support.
In original code, when CONFIG_SWAP=n and CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y,
split_swap_cluster() will not be built because it is in swapfile.c,
but it will be called in huge_memory.c. This doesn't trigger a build
error in practice because the call site is enclosed by
PageSwapCache(), which is defined to be constant 0 when CONFIG_SWAP=n.
But this is fragile and should be fixed.
The comments are fixed too to reflect the latest progress.
Fixes: 38d8b4e6bdc8 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out")

Swap transparent huge pages in one piece, without splitting.

For selection by architectures with reasonable THP sizes.
