Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/12] mm: introduce get_pte_swap_entry() and use it
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 08:41:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a48bf5fadd66059bbacca6a5f2eccc60eee3278e.1761288179.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1761288179.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>

We have a number of checks which explicitly check for 'true' swap entries,
that is swap entries which are not non-swap swap entries.

This is a confusing state of affairs, and we're duplicating checks as well
as using is_swap_pte() which is applied inconsistently throughout the code
base.

Avoid all this by introducing a new function, get_pte_swap_entry() that
explicitly checks for a true swap entry and returns it if the PTE contains
one.

We then update the code base to use this function.
