The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo. The old algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from one task to another. This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in need of the token. The urgency for the token is based on the number of times a task is required to swap-in pages. Accordingly, the priority of a task is incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs. To ensure that the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority boost. The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's keeps reducing. This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap token, is a matter of comparing two task's priority fields.

|
* Improved algorithm to pass token:
|
|
* Each task has a priority which is incremented if it contended
|
|
* for the token in an interval less than its previous attempt.
|
|
* If the token is acquired, that task's priority is boosted to prevent
|
|
* the token from bouncing around too often and to let the task make
|
|
* some progress in its execution.
