Subject: [PATCH v3 11/20] zswap: move zswap entry management to the virtual swap descriptor
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 13:58:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260208215839.87595-12-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260208215839.87595-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>
Remove the zswap tree and manage zswap entries directly
through the virtual swap descriptor. This re-partitions the zswap pool
(by virtual swap cluster), which eliminates zswap tree lock contention.
