[PATCH -V8 20/21] swap: create PMD swap mapping when unmap the THP

From: Huang Ying
Date: Fri Dec 07 2018 - 00:42:29 EST


This is the final step of the THP swapin support. When reclaiming a
anonymous THP, after allocating the huge swap cluster and add the THP
into swap cache, the PMD page mapping will be changed to the mapping
to the swap space. Previously, the PMD page mapping will be split
before being changed. In this patch, the unmap code is enhanced not
to split the PMD mapping, but create a PMD swap mapping to replace it
instead. So later when clear the SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag in the last step
of swapout, the huge swap cluster will be kept instead of being split,
and when swapin, the huge swap cluster will be read in one piece into a
THP. That is, the THP will not be split during swapout/swapin. This
can eliminate the overhead of splitting/collapsing, and reduce the
page fault count, etc. But more important, the utilization of THP is
improved greatly, that is, much more THP will be kept when swapping is
used, so that we can take full advantage of THP including its high
performance for swapout/swapin.
