The sysctl vm.compress-batching parameter is 0 by default. If the platform has Intel IAA, the user can run experiments with IAA compress batching of large folios in zswap_store() as follows: sysctl vm.compress-batching=1 echo deflate-iaa > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor This is expected to significantly improve zswap_store() latency of swapping out large folios due to parallel compression of 8 pages in the large folio at a time, in hardware. Setting vm.compress-batching to "1" takes effect only if the zswap compression algorithm's crypto_acomp registers implementations for the batch_compress() and batch_decompress() API. In other words, compress batching works only with the iaa_crypto driver, that does register these new batching API. It is a no-op for compressors that do not register the batching API. The sysctl vm.compress-batching acts as a switch because it takes effect upon future zswap_store() calls on any given core. If the switch is "1", large folios will use parallel batched compression of the folio's pages. If the switch is "0", zswap_store() will use sequential compression for storing every page in a large folio.
