Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm, thp: make swapin readahead under down_read of mmap_sem
Currently khugepaged makes swapin readahead under
down_write. This patch supplies to make swapin
readahead under down_read instead of down_write.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates
800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. The system
was forced to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program
touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each
20 pages of the area.
Signed-off-by: Ebru Akagunduz <ebru.akagunduz@...il.com>

Changes in v2:
- Keep the comment next to down_write (Andrea Arcangeli)
- To revalidate vma, use the same check methods which is placed in
collapse_huge_page (Andrea Arcangeli)
- Collect the methods in a helper function and replace the content
with function, if needed (Ebru Akagunduz)
