Patch series "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem", v5. Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large folios when trying to swap-out shmem, which may lead to the memory fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for shmeme. Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio without split, and large folio swap-in[3] series is queued into mm-unstable branch. Hence this patch set also supports the large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem. This patch (of 9): To support shmem large folio swap operations, add a new parameter to swap_shmem_alloc() that allows batch SWAP_MAP_SHMEM flag setting for shmem swap entries. While we are at it, using folio_nr_pages() to get the number of pages of the folio as a preparation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
