This patch series was written to deal with programs that access most, but not all, of their memory after they get swapped out. Currently these programs do not get their memory collapsed into THPs after the system swapped their memory out, while they would get THPs before swapping happened. This patch series was tested with a test program, it allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing and leaves a piece of it without writing. This shows how much swap in readahead made by the patch.
