[PATCH v3 5/7] mm/swap: avoid a duplicated swap cache lookup for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO

From: Kairui Song
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 12:56:19 EST


From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When a xa_value is returned by the cache lookup, keep it to be used
later for workingset refault check instead of doing the looking up again
in swapin_no_readahead.

Shadow look up and workingset check is skipped for swapoff to reduce
overhead, workingset checking for anon pages upon swapoff is not
helpful, simply consider all pages as inactive make more sense since
swapoff doesn't mean pages is being accessed.

After this commit, swappin is about 4% faster for ZRAM, micro benchmark
result which use madvise to swap out 10G zero-filled data to ZRAM then
read them in:

Before: 11143285 us
After: 10692644 us (+4.1%)
