Subject: mm/huge_memory: try to free subpage in swapcache when possible
Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 21:21:56 +0800
Subpages in swapcache won't be freed even if it is the last user of the
page until next time reclaim. It shouldn't hurt indeed, but we could try
to free these pages to save more memory for system.
