Subject: [PATCH 01/19] mm/swap: rename __read_swap_cache_async to swap_cache_alloc_folio
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 23:58:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029-swap-table-p2-v1-1-3d43f3b6ec32@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029-swap-table-p2-v1-0-3d43f3b6ec32@tencent.com>

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

__read_swap_cache_async is widely used to allocate and ensure a folio is
in swapcache, or get the folio if a folio is already there.

It's not async, and it's not doing any read. Rename it to better present
its usage, and prepare to be reworked as part of new swap cache APIs.

Also, add some comments for the function. Worth noting that the
skip_if_exists argument is an long existing workaround that will be
dropped soon.
