The patch titled
     Subject: mm: page_io: fix psi memory pressure error on cold swapins
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_io-fix-psi-memory-pressure-error-on-cold-swapins.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: page_io: fix psi memory pressure error on cold swapins

Once upon a time, all swapins counted toward memory pressure[1].  Then
Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we gained
the ability to distinguish hot from cold swapins[2][3].  But we failed to
update swap_readpage() accordingly, and now we account partial memory
pressure in the swapin path of cold memory.

Not for all situations - which adds more inconsistency: paths using the
conventional submit_bio() and lock_page() route will not see much pressure
- unless storage itself is heavily congested and the bio submissions
stall.  ZRAM and ZSWAP do most of the work directly from swap_readpage()
and will see all swapins reflected as pressure.

IOW, a workload doing cold swapins could see little to no pressure
reported with on-disk swap, but potentially high pressure with a zram or
zswap backend.  That confuses any psi-based health monitoring, load
shedding, proactive reclaim, or userspace OOM killing schemes that might
be in place for the workload.

Restore consistency by making all swapin stall accounting conditional on
the page actually being part of the workingset.

[2] commit aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU")
[3] commit cad8320b4b39 ("mm/swap: don't SetPageWorkingset unconditionally during swapin")
