[PATCH -V9 11/21] swap: Support to count THP swapin and its fallback

From: Huang Ying
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 01:28:18 EST


2 new /proc/vmstat fields are added, "thp_swapin" and
"thp_swapin_fallback" to count swapin a THP from swap device in one
piece and fallback to normal page swapin.

As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
