write the following patch according to your idea, what do you think ?Yep, that is basically what I was thinking of. Some nitpicks below:Did this go somewhere? The thread just ends here on my end. Mike, is this patch fixing / helping your case in anyway?Please see * https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=160889419514019&w=2 * https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=160889418114011&w=2 * https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=160889448814057&w=2Thank you, that would be 1608894171-54174-1-git-send-email-tiantao6@hisilicon.com for b4 compatibility :)quoted
Haven't had time to test these yet but seem to be alright.So zs_map_object() still disables preemption but the mutex part is avoided by the patch?
Basically, yes. Minchan was very clear that he didn't want to remove that inter-function locking, so be it. I wouldn't really advise to use zsmalloc with zswap because zsmalloc has no support for reclaim, nevertheless I wouldn't like this configuration to stop working for those who are already using it. Would you or Mike be up for testing Tian Taos's patchset? Best regards, Vitaly
