[PATCH 7/9] mm/swapfile: Make folio_put_swap batchable
Posted by Dev Jain 1 month ago
Teach folio_put_swap to handle a batch of consecutive pages. Note that
folio_put_swap already can handle a subset of this: nr_pages == 1 and
nr_pages == folio_nr_pages(folio). Generalize this to any nr_pages.

Currently we have a not-so-nice logic of passing in subpage == NULL if
we mean to exercise the logic on the entire folio, and subpage != NULL if
we want to exercise the logic on only that subpage. Remove this
indirection, and explicitly pass subpage != NULL, and the number of
pages required.

Lord above HELPER. HELPER :) please.

I think in general, let's have the same refactoring in folio_put_swap() as I
suggested for folio_dup_swap().

I'm not sure where this hellish subpage interface came from, I mean there must
be a good reason but it seems kinda horrible.

I'm confused as to why some callers use folio_nr_pages() and others nr_pages...

Again, as with the folio_dup_swap() refactoring I suggested in previous patch,
something like folio_dup_swap_subpage() would be good here right?

Like folio_put_swap_subpage(folio, subpage)...

Again, for emphasis, please do not repeatedly open code the exact same thing all
over the place, 'don't repeat yourself' is a really good principle in
programming in general. Now if one of these callers gets updated and the others
not we're in a mess.

Abstract this please :)

I just realized that we already have a nr_pages variable available

Same here, nr_pages seems good enough?

Yup, thanks for your observation.
