Each swapfile has one rb-tree to search the mapping of swp_entry_t to
zswap_entry, that use a spinlock to protect, which can cause heavy lock
contention if multiple tasks zswap_store/load concurrently.
Optimize the scalability problem by splitting the zswap rb-tree into
multiple rb-trees, each corresponds to SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES (64M),
just like we did in the swap cache address_space splitting.
Although this method can't solve the spinlock contention completely, it
can mitigate much of that contention. Below is the results of kernel
build in tmpfs with zswap shrinker enabled:
linux-next zswap-lock-optimize
real 1m9.181s 1m3.820s
user 17m44.036s 17m40.100s
sys 7m37.297s 4m54.622s
So there are clearly improvements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
