[PATCH v5 8/9] mm: swap: relaim the cached parts that got scanned

From: chrisl
Date: Wed Jul 31 2024 - 02:50:29 EST


From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This commit implements reclaim during scan for cluster allocator.

Cluster scanning were unable to reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE slots, which
could result in low allocation success rate or early OOM.

So to ensure maximum allocation success rate, integrate reclaiming
with scanning. If found a range of suitable swap slots but fragmented
due to HAS_CACHE, just try to reclaim the slots.
