I think that the words aren't correct here. mTHP swap entry allocators
can work with current cluster definition.

It's an optimization to track non-full cluster with a list.
I understand that you want to change cluster list definition. I just
feel the wording isn't accurate.

Sorry, I don't understand the locking in above words. I don't find that
we lock/unlock in the original getter/setter functions. I found that
the cluster locking rule for cluster list is changed. Better to make
this explicit.

On 64bit platform, the size of swap_cluster_info increases from 8 bytes
to 24 bytes. For a 1TB swap device, the memory usage will increase from
4MB to 12MB. This looks OK for me.
Another choice is to use a customized double linked list using "unsigned
int" as pointer to cluster. That will reduce the size of cluster to 16
bytes. But it may be not necessary to do that.
Anyway, I think that it's better to add more calculation in changelog
for memory usage increment.

If we use 16bits and 8 bits in bit fields, why not just use u8 and u16
instead?

"next" isn't a good naming because prev pointer is in list_head too.
The common naming is "list".
Need to revise comments for swap_cluster_info.lock and add the locking
rule comments for swap_cluster_info.next.
