#1439997 — [RFC PATCH v3 0/2] mm, thp: convert from optimistic swapin collapsing to conservative

This patch series fixes comment inconsistency and supplies to decide
to swapin looking the amount of young pages.

Changes in v2:
 - Don't change thp design, notice young pages
   if needs to swapin
 - Add comment line fixing patch

Changes in v3:
 - Remove revert patch (allocstall), the patch automatically
   dropped
 - Set comment line fixing patch as first part of the series
 - Move changes from huge_memory.c to khugepaged.c

#1439998 — [PATCH v3 1/2] mm, thp: fix comment inconsistency for swapin readahead functions

After fixing swapin issues, comment lines stayed as in old version.
This patch updates the comments.

Changes in v2:
 - Newly created in this version.

Changes in v3:
 - Replace Reported-by with Cc (Hillf Danton)
 - Remove RFC tag (Hillf Danton)
 - After khugepaged extracted from huge_memory.c,
   changes moved to khugepaged.c

#1440000 — [RFC PATCH v3 2/2] mm, thp: convert from optimistic swapin collapsing to conservative

To detect whether khugepaged swapin worthwhile, this patch checks
the amount of young pages. There should be at least half of
HPAGE_PMD_NR to swapin.

Changes in v2:
 - Don't change thp design, only notice amount of young
   pages, if khugepaged needs to swapin (Minchan Kim).
 - Print out count of referenced pages in
   __collapse_huge_page_swapin() (Ebru Akagunduz)

Changes in v3:
 - After khugepaged extracted from huge_memory.c,
   changes moved to khugepaged.c
