[OxygenOS] 9.0.4 - Incorrect swappiness value / Frequent lag on Oneplus 5 #50

Description

@sxravan

Hello,

I have rooted my OnePlus with with OxygenOS 9.0.4. I was navigating through all files and found that the value for the swappiness is 100.

$ su -c "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness"
100

To be noted that swappiness is the value which affects how aggressively a Linux system should use swap. 100 => always use swap, 0=> swap, but less aggressively.

Can you please add the value of 0 as default for your future OxygenOS release ?

I have made a quick fix on my phone, adding this code to a bashrc on termux. Everytime I reboot my phone, the first thing to do is open Termux to change the swappiness value.

$ cat .bashrc
ACTUALVAL=$(su -c "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness")
if [ $ACTUALVAL -ne 0 ]; then
su -c "sysctl -w vm.swappiness=0"
fi

Since then, my device has stopped being laggy, playing games (Asphalt 9), still no swap is being used.

$ uptime
14:32:24 up 1 day, 18:13, load average: 4.33, 4.65, 5.01
$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.5Gi 4.8Gi 103Mi 20Mi 2.7Gi 2.6Gi
Swap: 1.0Gi 0B 1.0Gi
