Subject: [PATCH RFC 10/14] mm/page-flags: introduce folio_test_fs_private()
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:13:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-remove-pg_private-v1-10-142c97ba3562@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-remove-pg_private-v1-0-142c97ba3562@nvidia.com>
folio_test_fs_private() wraps folio->private != NULL check and excludes
swapcache and hugetlb folios, since swapcache uses swp_entry_t overlapping
with folio->private and hugetlb sets its own flags in folio->private.
Replace open code with the helper, since core MM does this check
frequently.
No functional change intended.
