From c4fa63092f216737b60c789968371d9960a598e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 16:24:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead pages. This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and influence the swap readahead algorithm too. This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is newly allocated and read from the disk. When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate increased from ~66% to ~86%.
