Subject: mm/huge_memory: add a comment to the open-coded swap entry
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 11:16:32 -0400
The swap entry of each new folio in __split_folio_to_order() is computed
by hand from folio->swap rather than with folio_swap_entry(), because the
folio's page count is not valid while it is being split. Add a comment
explaining this.
