[PATCH] swap write clustering for 2.4 (again :))

Linus, The following patch changes swap_writepage() to try to do write clustering of phisically contiguous pages which are dirty and in the swapcache. Do you want to include it in 2.4 ? diff -Nur --exclude-from=exclude linux.orig/include/linux/mm.h linux/include/linux/mm.h --- linux.orig/incl

[PATCH] swap write clustering for 2.4 (4th time)

Linus, The following patch changes swap_writepage() to try to do write clustering of phisically contiguous pages which are dirty and in the swapcache. The patch is pretty clean and small. Do you want to include it in 2.4? diff -Nur --exclude-from=exclude linux.orig/include/linux/mm.h linux/

[PATCH] swap write clustering

Hi, Basically this new swap_writepage function looks for dirty swapcache pages which may be contiguous (reverse and forward searching wrt to the physical address of the page being passed to swap_writepage) and builds a page list which is written "at once". The patch is against test13pre3. Co
