And in Patch 11 I can see that you've made an important fix to the
!folio_ref_freeze() block in __folio_migrate_mapping(): there had been a
swap_cluster_unlock(ci) which you've fixed to swap_cluster_unlock_irq(ci):
I was going to report that, with the WARNING and "BUG: sleeping function"s
it caused, but you're ahead of me.

Thanks also for fixing the shmem_replace_folio() locking and stats
update, which I'd noticed too (but never hit): looks good now.
