From f0eea189e8e969b66e03bac8a7d92888ba267854 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 16:22:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, THP, swap: don't allocate huge cluster for file backed swap device It's hard to write a whole transparent huge page (THP) to a file backed swap device during swapping out and the file backed swap device isn't very popular. So the huge cluster allocation for the file backed swap device is disabled.
