We use bit 1 as the 'table' bit (when 0 at pmd > level, it's a huge page) but we shouldn't check for this on a swap > entry. I'm a little worried that when we're dealing with huge mappings at the PMD level we might lose the ability to distinguish them from a pte-level mapping with this new flag set if we use bit 1. A similar issue to this was fixed a long time ago by 59911ca4325d ("ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit") when we used to use bit 1 for PTE_PROT_NONE. Is something like: pmd_to_swp_entry(swp_entry_to_pmd(pmd)); supposed to preserve the original pmd? I'm not sure that's guaranteed after this change if bit 1 can be cleared in the process -- we could end up with a pte, which the hardware would interpret as a table entry and end up with really bad things happening.
