/*\
 * [Description]
 *
 * Detect heavy swapping during first time swap use.
 *
 * This case is used for testing kernel commit:
 * 50a15981a1fa ("[S390] reference bit testing for unmapped pages")
 *
 * The upstream commit fixed a issue on s390/x platform that heavy
 * swapping might occur in some condition, however since the patch
 * was quite general, this testcase will be run on all supported
 * platforms to ensure no regression been introduced.
 *
 * Details of the kernel fix:
 *
 * On x86 a page without a mapper is by definition not referenced / old.
 * The s390 architecture keeps the reference bit in the storage key and
 * the current code will check the storage key for page without a mapper.
 * This leads to an interesting effect: the first time an s390 system
 * needs to write pages to swap it only finds referenced pages. This
 * causes a lot of pages to get added and written to the swap device.
 * To avoid this behaviour change page_referenced to query the storage
 * key only if there is a mapper of the page.
 *
 * [Algorithm]
 *
 * Try to allocate memory which size is slightly larger than current
 * available memory. After allocation done, continue loop for a while
 * and calculate the used swap size. The used swap size should be small
 * enough, else it indicates that heavy swapping is occurred unexpectedly.
