Yes, the cluster lock cannot address the swap_info lock contention during swap slot allocation and freeing. The second part of the patch set creates a cache for swap slots allocated and swap slots returned. So the allocation and free operation can be done in batches. That helped to reduce contention on swap_info lock.
