zap_pte_range() has no concept of folios (mTHP) as folios could have
gone. you could have the case:
folio1: last 16 slots of cluster1
folio2: first 16 slots of cluster2.
folio1 and folio2 are within the same PMD and virtually contiguous
before they are unmapped.
when both folio1 and folio2 have gone, zap_pte_range() 's
nr = swap_pte_batch(pte, max_nr, ptent);
nr will be 32. "mTHP swap entries alloced by by cluster_alloc_swap() belong
to the same cluster" is correct, but when you zap_pte_range(), your mTHPs
could have gone.

yes. I have seen 3X performance improvement.
