Indeed, we don't count refaults for small folios, as their refault
mechanism is much
simpler compared to large folios. Implementing this counter can enhance the
system's visibility to users.

Personally, having this counter and observing a non-zero value greatly enha=
nces
my confidence when debugging this refault series. Otherwise, it feels like =
being
blind to what's happening inside the system :-)

swap_pte_batch() =3D=3D nr_pages should have passed the test for pte_same.
folio_test_uptodate(folio)) should be also unlikely to be true as we are
not reading from swap devices for refault case.

but i agree we can move all the refault handling after those two "goto
out_nomap".
