What about tmpdir as proposed by bcachefs? [0]
That keeps the file in the page cache until it’s evicted, but instead of being written to swap it’s written to the fs.
With the swap partition usually being quite small and the fs today being all the storage there is on a personal machine.

- arp242 2y agoWell, as I read that page it doesn't actually exist (yet), so that rather makes it a hypothetical at this point. Might be interesting in the future, but not today.
- MrDrMcCoy 2y agoIt's a neat idea, but I doubt it'll take off. Swap with zswap as a backing for tmpfs should be plenty for the time being.
