I still hope this one will get fixed, eventually… https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2780

EDIT: Correct link.

Or William.

It controls swap read-ahead exclusively, not any other type of read-ahead. It's quite explicit in the documentation I linked....

[HyperDrive]

Unrelated, swappiness and page-cluster, really? From the documentation I've read, they couldn't be more related…...

[HyperDrive]

So you hit a VM corner case which manifests itself when there's no swap. I use swap on zram on all of my systems (no swap to rust/SSD, ever, even on machines...

[HyperDrive]

I know. The problem is both drivers have the same name (i915), which is downright silly. Oh, well…...

[HyperDrive]

I fail to see how this hack is better than setting swappiness to 200 (which biases reclaim heavily towards swap instead of page cache eviction), page-cluster...

[HyperDrive]

I understand. It's been definitely seeing a lot of activity lately (with the push for moving the world to Gallium3D), hence why I'd like to give it a...

[HyperDrive]

oibaf, pardon me if this is a silly question, but how do I override the i915 default driver in order to test i915g? I haven't tried anything yet, but...

GregKH, while writing the email: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

Jokes aside, this is too unethical for words. No research should...

[HyperDrive]

Does any of this even matter? The system has barely enough RAM to boot the kernel. This is something that really irks me; since when does computing have...

[HyperDrive]

What do you mean, polluting? The code is self-contained. You're not even building the code if you're not building your kernel specifically for an N64...

[HyperDrive]

Exactly. And yes, even tape. ...

[HyperDrive]

Yeah, and combining zswap with zram is probably the most horrid thing I can think of, but that doesn't stop a lot of people around the internet from suggesting...

[HyperDrive]

I mean having multiple swap devices prioritised by access time, not some arbitrary number. Right now, swap devices are used from the highest to the lowest...
