Shintaro Kawamura 2914297216 swap: prefetch pages in swap file to page cache while swap in ... Pre-populating page cache improves the latency of swap-in which I/O wait mostly have taken up. This was because page cache populations were triggered on page fault basis. Since swap-in operation moves pages sequentially, pre-populating has a benefit on the latency. MADV_WILLNEED causes the kernel to asynchronously start populating the pages, and MLOCK_ONFAULT ensures that the data remains in the page cache until it is UFFD_COPYed. mlock(2) without MLOCK_ONFAULT is not applicable because it blocks the calling thread until populated. MADV_DONTNEED is also important in terms of the swap-in latency. It frees the page cache which is already UFFD_COPYed to be reused for later readaheading swap file. Otherwise the memory pressure from the swap file page cache population triggers system-wide page frame collection which is heavy. Pre-populating page cache alone is actually not enough to improve the swap-in latency without swapping in on a background thread (https://crrev.com/c/4317028).
