Subject: [PATCH -mm -V2 21/21] mm, THP: Avoid to split THP when reclaim MADV_FREE THP

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

Previously, to reclaim MADV_FREE THP, the THP will be split firstly,
then reclaim each sub-pages.  This wastes cycles to split THP and
unmap and free each sub-pages, and split THP even if it has been
written since MADV_FREE.  We have to do this because MADV_FREE THP
reclaiming shares same try_to_unmap() calling with swap, while swap
needs to split the PMD page mapping at that time.  Now swap can
process PMD mapping, this makes it easy to avoid to split THP when
MADV_FREE THP is reclaimed.
