From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
A variation of get_swap_page(), get_huge_swap_page(), is added to
allocate a swap cluster (HPAGE_PMD_NR swap slots) based on the swap
cluster allocation function. A fair simple algorithm is used, that is,
only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate
the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not
successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot
instead. This works good enough for normal cases.
This will be used for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap support.
Where get_huge_swap_page() will be used to allocate one swap cluster for
each THP swapped out.
Because of the algorithm adopted, if the difference of the number of the
free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is
possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example,
this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices.
