Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 4/4] mm/shmem, swap: avoid redundant Xarray lookup during swapin
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 02:43:31 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ebffe1a4-f575-8a38-2584-70cbfeda6913@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <a07eace6-82f2-32a8-0cbc-85972d4b1eee@google.com>
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
commit 0cfc0e7e3d062b93e9eec6828de000981cdfb152 upstream.
Currently shmem calls xa_get_order to get the swap radix entry order,
requiring a full tree walk. This can be easily combined with the swap
entry value checking (shmem_confirm_swap) to avoid the duplicated lookup
and abort early if the entry is gone already. Which should improve the
performance.
