Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mm: split out a writeout helper from pageout
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 07:49:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610054959.2057526-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610054959.2057526-1-hch@lst.de>
Move the code to write back swap / shmem folios into a self-contained
helper to keep prepare for refactoring it.
