The sysfs interface to control the VMA based swap readahead is added as
follow,

/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_enabled

Enable the VMA based swap readahead algorithm, or use the original
global swap readahead algorithm.

/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order

Set the max order of the readahead window size for the VMA based swap
readahead algorithm.

The corresponding ABI documentation is added too.

+               will be used for swappable anonymous pages mapped in a
+               VMA, and the global swap readahead algorithm will be

+               false, the global swap readahead algorithm will be
+               used for all swappable pages.
