Subject: mm, swap: fix swap cache index error when retrying reclaim
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 00:00:48 +0800
The allocator will reclaim cached slots while scanning. Currently, it
will try again if reclaim found a folio that is already removed from the
swap cache due to a race. But the following lookup will be using the
wrong index. It won't cause any OOB issue since the swap cache index is
truncated upon lookup, but it may lead to reclaiming of an irrelevant
folio.
This should not cause a measurable issue, but we should fix it.
