This patchset is based on 2018-07-13 head of mmotm tree. Now the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimizing is implemented in the way like below,
#ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP huge_function(...) { } #else normal_function(...) { } #endif general_function(...) { if (huge) return thp_function(...); else return normal_function(...); } As pointed out by Dave Hansen, this will, 1. Created a new, wholly untested code path for huge page 2. Created two places to patch bugs 3. Are not reusing code when possible This patchset is to address these problems via merging huge/normal code path/functions if possible. One concern is that this may cause code size to dilate when !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. The data shows that most refactoring will only cause quite slight code size increase.
