I don't understand why you've added the word "massive". Do you mean
that the pages are large, or that kswapd has scanned a lot of pages?
The added "massive" means that there are a large number of pages marked for
immediate reclaim on evictable LRUs.
Then the word "many" communicates your meaning better. "massive" would
mean that each page is very big, while "many" means that there are a
lot of pages.

It was foolish to send out a v2 so swiftly. Best wait for someone who's
familiar with this code to respond to it now that you've clarified what
you were doing.
Thanks for you suggestions, I will update the newer version patch later.
