Kairui Song, an engineer at Tencent, has contributed a series of 27 distinct Swap Table patches to the Linux kernel community. These patches are designed to refine the swap mechanism, promising a performance boost of 20%-30% when managing 4K pages and mTHP folios. Additionally, they aim to minimize memory usage and bolster system scalability. Swap Table represents a notable architectural advancement for the swap mechanism, and the code is currently undergoing rigorous review, with the prospect of eventual integration into the Linux kernel's mainline. The development team remains committed to further enhancing its performance.
