Subject: [PATCH -mm -v3 06/12] Test code to write THP to swap device as a whole

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

To support to delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after
swapped out.  We need to enhance swap writing code to support to write
a THP as a whole.  This will improve swap write IO performance.  As
Ming Lei <ming.lei@...hat.com> pointed out, this should be based on
multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet.  So this patch
is only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the
series.  And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is
merged.
