mm, swap_slots: remove slot cache for freeing path
The slot cache for freeing path is mostly for reducing the overhead of
si->lock. As we have basically eliminated the si->lock usage for freeing
path, it can be removed.
This helps simplify the code, and avoids swap entries from being hold in
cache upon freeing. The delayed freeing of entries have been causing
trouble for further optimizations for zswap [1] and in theory will also
cause more fragmentation, and extra overhead.
Test with build linux kernel showed both performance and fragmentation is
better without the cache:
tiem make -j96 / 768M memcg, 4K pages, 10G ZRAM, avg of 4 test run::
Before:
Sys time: 36047.78, Real time: 472.43
After: (-7.6% sys time, -7.3% real time)
Sys time: 33314.76, Real time: 437.67
time make -j96 / 1152M memcg, 64K mTHP, 10G ZRAM, avg of 4 test run:
Before:
Sys time: 46859.04, Real time: 562.63
hugepages-64kB/stats/swpout: 1783392
hugepages-64kB/stats/swpout_fallback: 240875
After: (-23.3% sys time, -21.3% real time)
Sys time: 35958.87, Real time: 442.69
hugepages-64kB/stats/swpout: 1866267
hugepages-64kB/stats/swpout_fallback: 158330
Sequential SWAP should be also slightly faster, tests didn't show a
measurable difference though, at least no regression:
