From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com>

0-Day test system reported some OOM regressions for several
THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap test cases.  These regressions are
bisected to 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as
256").  In the commit, BIO_MAX_PAGES is set to 256 even when THP swap
is enabled.  So the bio_alloc(gfp_flags, 512) in get_swap_bio() may
fail when swapping out THP.  That causes the OOM.

As in the patch description of 6861428921b5 ("block: always define
BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256"), THP swap should use multi-page bvec to write
THP to swap space.  So the issue is fixed via doing that in
get_swap_bio().

BTW: I remember I have checked the THP swap code when
6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256") was merged,
and thought the THP swap code needn't to be changed.  But apparently,
I was wrong.  I should have done this at that time.

Fixes: 6861428921b5 ("block: always define BIO_MAX_PAGES as 256")
