Pages passed to swap_readpage()/swap_writepage() are not necessarily all
the same size - there may be transparent-huge-pages involves.

The BIO paths of swap_*page() handle this correctly, but the SWP_FS_OPS
path does not.

So we need to use thp_size() to find the size, not just assume
PAGE_SIZE, and we need to track the total length of the request, not
just assume it is "page * PAGE_SIZE".

Cool.  I added this in the series after
mm-submit-multipage-write-for-swp_fs_ops-swap-space.patch.  I could
later squash it into that patch if you think that's more logical.

I think it best to keep it separate, though that position is good.
If we were to squash, some would need to go into the "submit multipage
reads" patch, and some in "submit multipage writes".  IF you wanted to
do that I wouldn't object but I don't think it is needed.

Thanks,

The patch looks good to me. Thanks!

But we might need use count_swpout_vm_event in sio_write_complete. THP_SWPOUT should be
accounted too. And count_vm_events(PSWPOUT, sio->pages) doesn't account the right number
of pages now. Maybe sio_read_complete also needs this fix. Or am I miss something?

Thanks!

Swap-over-nfs doesn't support THP swap IIUC. So SWP_FS_OPS should not
see THP at all. But I agree to remove the assumption about page size
in this path.

Can you help me understand this please.  How would the swap code know
that swap-over-NFS doesn't support THP swap?  There is no reason that
NFS wouldn't be able to handle 2MB writes.  Even 1GB should work though
NFS would have to split into several smaller WRITE requests.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

AFAICT, THP swap is only supported on non-rotate block devices, for
example, SSD, PMEM, etc. IIRC, the swap device has to support the
cluster in order to swap THP. The cluster is only supported by
non-rotate block devices.

Looped Ying in, who is the author of THP swap.

I hunted around the code and found that THP swap only happens if a
'cluster_info' is allocated, and that only happens if 
	if (p->bdev && bdev_nonrot(p->bdev)) {
in the swapon syscall.

I guess "nonrot" is being use as a synonym for "low latency"...
So even if NFS was low-latency it couldn't benefit from THP swap.

So as you say it is not currently possible for THP pages to be send to
NFS for swapout.  It makes sense to prepare for it though I think - if
only so that the code is more consistent and less confusing.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

And in get_swap_pages(), the cluster is only allocated for block
devices.

		if (size == SWAPFILE_CLUSTER) {
			if (si->flags & SWP_BLKDEV)
				n_ret = swap_alloc_cluster(si, swp_entries);
		} else
			n_ret = scan_swap_map_slots(si, SWAP_HAS_CACHE,
						    n_goal, swp_entries);

We may remove this restriction in the future if someone can show the
benefit.
