From 01626a18230246efdcea322aa8f067e60ffe5ccd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Song baohua@kernel.org Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:19:36 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] mm: avoid unconditional one-tick sleep when swapcache_prepare fails
Commit 13ddaf26be32 ("mm/swap: fix race when skipping swapcache") introduced an unconditional one-tick sleep when `swapcache_prepare()` fails, which has led to reports of UI stuttering on latency-sensitive Android devices. To address this, we can use a waitqueue to wake up tasks that fail `swapcache_prepare()` sooner, instead of always sleeping for a full tick. While tasks may occasionally be woken by an unrelated `do_swap_page()`, this method is preferable to two scenarios: rapid re-entry into page faults, which can cause livelocks, and multiple millisecond sleeps, which visibly degrade user experience.
Oven's testing shows that a single waitqueue resolves the UI stuttering issue. If a 'thundering herd' problem becomes apparent later, a waitqueue hash similar to `folio_wait_table[PAGE_WAIT_TABLE_SIZE]` for page bit locks can be introduced.
