[merged mm-stable] mm-swap-speed-up-hibernation-allocation-and-writeout.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm, swap: speed up hibernation allocation and writeout
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swap-speed-up-hibernation-allocation-and-writeout.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm, swap: speed up hibernation allocation and writeout
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 22:58:02 +0800

Since commit 0ff67f990bd4 ("mm, swap: remove swap slot cache"),
hibernation has been using the swap slot slow allocation path for
simplification, which turns out might cause regression for some devices
because the allocator now rotates clusters too often, leading to slower
allocation and more random distribution of data.

Fast allocation is not complex, so implement hibernation support as well.

Test result with Samsung SSD 830 Series (SATA II, 3.0 Gbps) shows the
performance is several times better [1]:
6.19:               324 seconds
After this series:  35 seconds
