Subject: [RFC 3/3] mm: make swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate
This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate.
When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages
in swap area.
With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when
there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates
800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force
the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program
touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each
20 pages of the area.
Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead.
THP rate was %47 of the program of the memory, it
did not change over time.
With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had
collapsed %99 of the program's memory.
