[PATCH v3] mm: zswap: multiple zpools support

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Tue Jun 20 2023 - 15:46:52 EST


Support using multiple zpools of the same type in zswap, for concurrency
purposes. A fixed number of 32 zpools is suggested by this commit, which
was determined empirically. It can be later changed or made into a
config option if needed.

On a setup with zswap and zsmalloc, comparing a single zpool to 32
zpools shows improvements in the zsmalloc lock contention, especially on
the swap out path.

The following shows the perf analysis of the swapout path when 10
workloads are simultaneously reclaiming and refaulting tmpfs pages.
There are some improvements on the swap in path as well, but less
significant.

1 zpool:

v2 -> v3:
- Removed config option (Johannes Weiner). Now it's a constant.
- Fixed spelling typos (Yu Zhao).

v1 -> v2:
- Prettified perf graph in commit log.
- Changed zswap_nr_zpools to a macro, changed zswap_pool->zpools to a
fixed size array instead of a flex array.
- Removed stale comment.
