The patch titled
Subject: mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-swap-allocate-swap-slots-in-batches.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches
Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing
contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every
page being swapped.
This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to
request multiple swap slots at once. This will reduces the lock
contention on the swap_info lock. Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate
more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each
other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.
