From: Chuanhua Han <hanchuanhua@xxxxxxxx>
In an embedded system like Android, more than half of anonymous memory is
actually stored in swap devices such as zRAM. For instance, when an app
is switched to the background, most of its memory might be swapped out.
Currently, we have mTHP features, but unfortunately, without support
for large folio swap-ins, once those large folios are swapped out,
we lose them immediately because mTHP is a one-way ticket.
This patch introduces mTHP swap-in support. For now, we limit mTHP
swap-ins to contiguous swaps that were likely swapped out from mTHP as
a whole.
Additionally, the current implementation only covers the SWAP_SYNCHRONOUS
case. This is the simplest and most common use case, benefiting millions
of Android phones and similar devices with minimal implementation
cost. In this straightforward scenario, large folios are always exclusive,
eliminating the need to handle complex rmap and swapcache issues.
It offers several benefits:
1. Enables bidirectional mTHP swapping, allowing retrieval of mTHP after
swap-out and swap-in.
2. Eliminates fragmentation in swap slots and supports successful THP_SWPOUT
without fragmentation.
3. Enables zRAM/zsmalloc to compress and decompress mTHP, reducing CPU usage
and enhancing compression ratios significantly.
Deploying this on millions of actual products, we haven't observed any
noticeable increase in memory footprint for 64KiB mTHP based on CONT-PTE
on ARM64.
