Description

The swap system original only need to handle 4K and THP size swap. When mTHP introduce more size option for swap, it also bring new challenge of the swap fragmentation. The swap sub system will need some change for the new allocation requirement.

The presentation will propose some swap allocator approaches to address the mthp swap fragmentation. Some of the patch series already send to the mail list.
