Patch series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", v5. This patchset is extracted from the large folio swapin series[1], primarily addressing the handling of scenarios involving large folios in the swap cache. Currently, it is particularly focused on addressing the refaulting of mTHP, which is still undergoing reclamation. This approach aims to streamline code review and expedite the integration of this segment into the MM tree. It relies on Ryan's swap-out series[2], leveraging the helper function swap_pte_batch() introduced by that series. Presently, do_swap_page only encounters a large folio in the swap cache before the large folio is released by vmscan. However, the code should remain equally useful once we support large folio swap-in via swapin_readahead(). This approach can effectively reduce page faults and eliminate most redundant checks and early exits for MTE restoration in recent MTE patchset[3]. The large folio swap-in for SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO and swapin_readahead() will be split into separate patch sets and sent at a later time.

To avoid frequently acquiring and releasing swap locks, it is better to introduce an API for batched free. Furthermore, this new function, swap_free_nr(), is designed to efficiently handle various scenarios for releasing a specified number, nr, of swap entries.

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.
