[PATCH v4 0/2] mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan

From: Youngjun Park <youngjun.park@lge.com>
Date: 2026-09-09 16:16:04
Also in: lkml

find_next_to_unuse() walks a swap device one offset at a time.  Slot
state now lives in a per cluster swap table, so patch 2 dismisses an
empty cluster with one counter read instead of SWAPFILE_CLUSTER table
reads.

Patch 1 is an unrelated one line comment fix noticed on the way.

A debug test confirmed the skip path runs, and swapoff completed
under load with no DEBUG_VM or lockdep splats.

Changes in v4:
- 2/2: put the measured swapoff times in the changelog (Andrew)
- 2/2: pick up Kairui's Acked-by and Baoquan's Reviewed-by
- Rebased on mm-new
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260806193228.458685-1-youngjun.park@lge.com (local)

Changes in v3:
- 2/2: clamp the scan end with min_t() so it stops at si->max, rather
  than running into the masked tail of the last cluster, which drops the
  need to explain why walking that tail was safe (Barry)
- 2/2: compute ci_off only where it is used
- 1/2, 2/2: pick up Barry's Reviewed-by
- Rebased on mm-new
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260805141146.127776-1-youngjun.park@lge.com (local)

Youngjun Park (2):
  mm/swap: fix stale comment on swap_info_struct::cluster_info
  mm/swap: scan by cluster in find_next_to_unuse()
