[PATCH v2 0/2] mm/swap: hibernate: improve hibernate performance with new allocator

[Kairui Song via B4 Relay <devnull+kasong.tencent.com@kernel.org>]

The new swap allocator didn't provide a high-performance allocation
method for hibernate, and just left it using the easy slow path. As a
result, hibernate performance is quite bad on some devices

Fix it by implementing hibernate support for the fast allocation path.

This regression seems only happen with SSD devices with poor 4k
performance. I've tested on several different NVME and SSD setups, the
performance diff is tiny on them, but testing on a Samsung SSD 830
Series (SATA II, 3.0 Gbps) showed a big difference [1]:

Test result with Samsung SSD 830 Series (SATA II, 3.0 Gbps) thanks
to Carsten Grohmann [1]:
6.19:               324 seconds
After this series:  35 seconds

Test result with SAMSUNG MZ7LH480HAHQ-00005 (SATA 3.2, 6.0 Gb/s):
Before 0ff67f990bd4: Wrote 2230700 kbytes in 4.47 seconds (499.03 MB/s)
After 0ff67f990bd4: Wrote 2215472 kbytes in 4.44 seconds (498.98 MB/s)
After this series: Wrote 2038748 kbytes in 4.04 seconds (504.64 MB/s)

Test result with Memblaze P5910DT0384M00:
Before 0ff67f990bd4: Wrote 2222772 kbytes in 0.84 seconds (2646.15 MB/s)
After 0ff67f990bd4: Wrote 2224184 kbytes in 0.90 seconds (2471.31 MB/s)
After this series: Wrote 1559088 kbytes in 0.55 seconds (2834.70 MB/s)

The performance is almost the same for blazing fast SSDs, but for some
SSDs, the performance is several times better.

Patch 1 improves the hibernate performance by using the fast path, and
patch 2 cleans up the code a bit since there are now multiple fast path
users using similar conventions.
