Zhiguo reported that swap release could be a serious bottleneck
during process exits[1]. With mTHP, we have the opportunity to
batch free swaps.
Thanks to the work of Chris and Kairui[2], I was able to achieve
this optimization with minimal code changes by building on their
efforts.
If swap_count is 1, which is likely true as most anon memory are
private, we can free all contiguous swap slots all together.

Ran the below test program for measuring the bandwidth of munmap
using zRAM and 64KiB mTHP:

  #include <sys/mman.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>

  unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
  {
         return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
  }

  main()
  {
         struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;
         int i;
  #define SIZE 1024*1024*1024
         void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                                 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
         if (!p) {
                 perror("fail to get memory");
                 exit(-1);
         }

         madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
         memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */

         madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);

         gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
         munmap(p, SIZE);
         gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);

         printf("munmap in bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
                         SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
  }

The result is as below (munmap bandwidth):
                 mm-unstable  mm-unstable-with-patch
    round1       21053761      63161283
    round2       21053761      63161283
    round3       21053761      63161283
    round4       20648881      67108864
    round5       20648881      67108864

munmap bandwidth becomes 3X faster.

The mTHP swap entries are batch freed as a whole directly by skipping
percpu swp_slots caches, instead of freeing every swap entry separately,
which can accelerate the mTHP swap entries release. I think it is
valuable.

zap_pte_range() has no concept of folios (mTHP) as folios could have
gone. you could have the case:
folio1:  last 16 slots of cluster1
folio2:  first 16 slots of cluster2.
folio1 and folio2 are within the same PMD and virtually contiguous
before they are unmapped.

when both folio1 and folio2 have gone, zap_pte_range() 's
nr = swap_pte_batch(pte, max_nr, ptent);

nr will be 32.  "mTHP swap entries alloced by by cluster_alloc_swap() belong
to the same cluster" is correct, but when you zap_pte_range(), your mTHPs
could have gone.

yes. I have seen 3X performance improvement.
