Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm/khugepaged: try to free transhuge swapcache when possible
Date:   Sat, 11 Jun 2022 16:47:31 +0800

Transhuge swapcaches won't be freed in __collapse_huge_page_copy().
It's because release_pte_page() is not called for these pages and
thus free_page_and_swap_cache can't grab the page lock. These pages
won't be freed from swap cache even if we are the only user until
next time reclaim. It shouldn't hurt indeed, but we could try to
free these pages to save more memory for system.
