has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-swap-ratelimit-bad-swap-entry-reports.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm, swap: ratelimit bad swap entry reports
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 02:03:40 -0700
A corrupt page table hands the same bogus entry to get_swap_device() on
every access to the mapping, and every rejection is logged. One machine
logged 6185620 copies of the same line in a few hours.
swap_dup_entry_direct() prints the same message from the fork path, once
per call: the WARN_ON_ONCE() guarding it warns once, the pr_err() inside
does not.
Rate limit all three prints.
