[PATCH 0/7] support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Thu Jun 06 2024 - 07:59:23 EST


Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better performance,
however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large folios when trying
to swap-out shmem, which may lead to the memory fragmentation issue and can not
take advantage of the large folio for shmeme.

Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio without
split, and large folio swap-in[3] series is queued into mm-unstable branch.
Hence this patch set also supports the large folio swap-out and swap-in for
shmem.

- Drop the counter name fixing patch, which was queued into mm-hotfixes-stable
branch.
