During testing I found there are some times the zswap_writeback_entry() return -ENOMEM, which is not we expected: bpftrace -e 'kr:zswap_writeback_entry {@[(int32)retval]=count()}' @[-12]: 1563 @[0]: 277221 The reason is that __read_swap_cache_async() return NULL because swapcache_prepare() failed. The reason is that we won't invalidate zswap entry when swap entry freed to the per-cpu pool, these zswap entries are still on the zswap tree and lru list. This patch moves the invalidation ahead to when swap entry freed to the per-cpu pool, since there is no any benefit to leave trashy zswap entry on the tree and lru list. With this patch: bpftrace -e 'kr:zswap_writeback_entry {@[(int32)retval]=count()}' @[0]: 259744 Note: large folio can't have zswap entry for now, so don't bother to add zswap entry invalidation in the large folio swap free path.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
