Huang Ying 093b995e3b mm, swap: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in free_swap_slot()
Before commit 452b94b8c8 ("mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to
uninitialized swap slot cache"), the following bug is reported,

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at mm/swap_slots.c:270!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

This is raised by the BUG_ON(!swap_slot_cache_initialized) in
free_swap_slot().  This is incorrect, because even if the swap slots
cache fails to be initialized, the swap should operate properly without
the swap slots cache.  And the use_swap_slot_cache check later in the
function will protect the uninitialized swap slots cache case.

In commit 452b94b8c8, the BUG_ON() is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE().  In
the patch, the WARN_ON_ONCE() is removed too.

Linus Torvalds 452b94b8c8 mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache
This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
actually problematic afaik.

I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
it but not bring the machine down.

Huang Ying ba81f83842 mm/swap: skip readahead only when swap slot cache is enabled
Because during swap off, a swap entry may have swap_map[] ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE (for example, just allocated).  If we return NULL in
__read_swap_cache_async(), the swap off will abort.  So when swap slot
cache is disabled, (for swap off), we will wait for page to be put into
swap cache in such race condition.  This should not be a problem for swap
slot cache, because swap slot cache should be drained after clearing
swap_slot_cache_enabled.

Tim Chen 67afa38e01 mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation
We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.

Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap
slots returned.  This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the
global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with
other slots in a cluster.  We do not reuse the slots that are returned
right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots.

The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when
searching for empty slots in cache.  The swap free cache is protected by
a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.

We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable
the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots
fall below a low watermark threshold.  We re-enable the cache agian when
the slots available are above a high watermark.
