I know I would benefit alot from a description of the swap specific
issue a bit more. Most of this message talks about clear_refs which I
do understand a bit better.
Is this talking about what happens after a page gets swapped back in?
eg the exclusive bit is missing when the page is recreated?
Otherwise nothing stood out to me here, but I know almost nothing
about swap.
Thanks,
Jason
