[PATCH -V6 04/21] swap: Support PMD swap mapping in put_swap_page()

From: Huang Ying
Date: Wed Oct 10 2018 - 03:27:19 EST


Previously, during swapout, all PMD page mapping will be split and
replaced with PTE swap mapping. And when clearing the SWAP_HAS_CACHE
flag for the huge swap cluster in put_swap_page(), the huge swap
cluster will be split. Now, during swapout, the PMD page mappings to
the THP will be changed to PMD swap mappings to the corresponding swap
cluster. So when clearing the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag, the huge swap
cluster will only be split if the PMD swap mapping count is 0.
Otherwise, we will keep it as the huge swap cluster. So that we can
swapin a THP in one piece later.
