I'm not having a good day....

Certainly shouldn't be swpout.  There isn't a count_swpin_vm_event().

swap_readpage() only counts once for each page no matter how big it is.
While swap_writepage() counts one for each PAGE_SIZE written.

And we have THP_SWPOUT but not THP_SWPIN

And I cannot find where any of these counters are documents, so I cannot
say what is "correct".

Well.... arch/s390/appldata/appldata_mem.c says
	u64 pswpin;		/* pages swapped in  */
	u64 pswpout;		/* pages swapped out */

but that isn't exactly unambiguous, and is for s390 which doesn't
support THP_SWAP

Ho hum.  I guess I put that back as it was.

Thanks for the review!!!
