Barry Song c18160dba5 mm: swap: reuse exclusive folio directly instead of wp page faults
After swapping out, we perform a swap-in operation.  If we first read and
then write, we encounter a major fault in do_swap_page for reading, along
with additional minor faults in do_wp_page for writing.  However, the
latter appears to be unnecessary and inefficient.  Instead, we can
directly reuse in do_swap_page and completely eliminate the need for
do_wp_page.

This patch achieves that optimization specifically for exclusive folios. 
The following microbenchmark demonstrates the significant reduction in
minor faults.

 #define DATA_SIZE (2UL * 1024 * 1024)
 #define PAGE_SIZE (4UL * 1024)

 static void *read_write_data(char *addr)
 {
         char tmp;

         for (int i = 0; i < DATA_SIZE; i += PAGE_SIZE) {
                 tmp = *(volatile char *)(addr + i);
                 *(volatile char *)(addr + i) = tmp;
         }
 }

 int main(int argc, char **argv)
 {
         struct rusage ru;

         char *addr = mmap(NULL, DATA_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
         memset(addr, 0x11, DATA_SIZE);

         do {
                 long old_ru_minflt, old_ru_majflt;
                 long new_ru_minflt, new_ru_majflt;

                 madvise(addr, DATA_SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);

                 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &ru);
                 old_ru_minflt = ru.ru_minflt;
                 old_ru_majflt = ru.ru_majflt;

                 read_write_data(addr);
                 getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &ru);
                 new_ru_minflt = ru.ru_minflt;
                 new_ru_majflt = ru.ru_majflt;

                 printf("minor faults:%ld major faults:%ld\n",
                         new_ru_minflt - old_ru_minflt,
                         new_ru_majflt - old_ru_majflt);
         } while(0);

         return 0;
 }

w/o patch,
/ # ~/a.out
minor faults:512 major faults:512

w/ patch,
/ # ~/a.out
minor faults:0 major faults:512

Minor faults decrease to 0!
