Subject: mm/swap: add folio_swap_entry() and folio_page_swap_entry()
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 11:16:31 -0400

Patch series "mm: remove page_swap_entry()", v2.

A folio in the swap cache occupies folio_nr_pages() contiguous swap
entries starting at folio->swap, so a page's swap entry is just
folio->swap plus the page's index in the folio.  The swap entry is folio
state, but the only helper for it is page-based: page_swap_entry() takes a
page and recomputes the folio its callers already hold.  Several callers
avoid it by open-coding the arithmetic on folio->swap instead.

Add folio_swap_entry() and folio_page_swap_entry(), convert all users, and
remove page_swap_entry(), with a few other cleanups along the way.


This patch (of 8):

A folio in the swap cache occupies folio_nr_pages() contiguous swap
entries starting at folio->swap, so a page's swap entry is just
folio->swap plus the page's index in the folio.  page_swap_entry() hides
this behind a compound_head() call, and callers that already have the
folio sometimes open-code the arithmetic instead.

Add folio_swap_entry(), which takes a folio and a page index, and
folio_page_swap_entry() for callers that have the page.
