[PATCH v4 05/11] mm, swap: enable THP swapin for vswap entries
From: Nhat Pham
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 11:34:05 EST
Swap a large anon folio back in as a unit when its vswap entries share a
contiguous run of physical swap slots on a synchronous IO device,
instead of always falling back to order-0 faults.
A zswap-backed or mixed-backing batch is still refused, and the fault
retries at a smaller order.
