Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] mm: drop stale folio_ref_count()==1 check in do_swap_page reuse logic
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 07:16:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623231635.43086-3-baohua@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623231635.43086-1-baohua@kernel.org>

The "we just allocated them without exposing them to the swapcache"
case no longer exists, as Kairui has routed synchronous I/O through
the swapcache as well in his series "unify swapin use swap cache and
cleanup flags"[1]. As a result, folio_ref_count() should never be 1
in this path, since at least two references are held (base ref plus
swapcache). Remove the folio_ref_count()==1 check and update the
comment accordingly.
