Subject: [PATCH v3 05/11] mm, swap: enable THP swapin for vswap entries
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 11:42:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806184254.3790858-6-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806184254.3790858-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>

Swap a large folio back in as a unit when its vswap entries share a
THP-amenable backing (a contiguous physical run, or all zero-filled),
instead of always falling back to order-0 faults.

A zswap-backed or mixed-backing batch is still refused, and the fault
retries at a smaller order.
