mm, swap: remove swap slot cache
Slot cache is no longer needed now, removing it and all related code.
- vm-scalability with: `usemem --init-time -O -y -x -R -31 1G`,
12G memory cgroup using simulated pmem as SWAP (32G pmem, 32 CPUs),
16 test runs for each case, measuring the total throughput:
Before (KB/s) (stdev) After (KB/s) (stdev)
Random (4K): 424907.60 (24410.78) 414745.92 (34554.78)
Random (64K): 163308.82 (11635.72) 167314.50 (18434.99)
Sequential (4K, !-R):
6150056.79 (103205.90)
6321469.06 (115878.16)
The performance changes are below noise level.
- Build linux kernel with make -j96, using 4K folio with 1.5G memory
cgroup limit and 64K folio with 2G memory cgroup limit, on top of tmpfs,
12 test runs, measuring the system time:
Before (s) (stdev) After (s) (stdev)
make -j96 (4K): 6445.69 (61.95) 6408.80 (69.46)
make -j96 (64K): 6841.71 (409.04) 6437.99 (435.55)
Similar to above, 64k mTHP case showed a slight improvement.
