Subject: [PATCH v3 05/20] mm/swap: add a new function to check if a swap entry is in swap cached.
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 13:58:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260208215839.87595-6-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260208215839.87595-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>
Userfaultfd checks whether a swap entry is in swapcache. This is
currently done by directly looking at the swapfile's swap map - however,
the swap cached state will soon be managed at the virtual swap layer.
Abstract away this function.
