Non-rotational devices (SSD / ZRAM) can tolerate fragmentation, so the goal of the SWAP allocator is to avoid contention for clusters. It uses a per-CPU cluster design, and each CPU will use a different cluster as much as possible. However, HDDs are very sensitive to fragmentation, contention is trivial in comparison. Therefore, we use one global cluster instead. This ensures that each order will be written to the same cluster as much as possible, which helps make the I/O more continuous. This ensures that the performance of the cluster allocator is as good as that of the old allocator.

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 reStructuredText 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.
