Subject: [PATCH v6 05/12] mm: zswap: add range lookup for large-folio swapin
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 06:09:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818131202.494754-6-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818131202.494754-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

From: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@fb.com>

A large folio reaches zswap_load() only when the caller expects
the whole range to be on disk. Zswap still stores large folios as
independent order-0 entries, so reconstructing a large folio from
zswap entries would risk returning partially initialized data.

Teach zswap_load() to scan the covered range. If no slot is in zswap,
return -ENOENT so swap_read_folio() reads the backing device. If any
slot is still in zswap, fail the large-folio read so the caller can
fall back to per-page swapin.

Return -EIO rather than -EINVAL for that conflict. Large-folio loads
are now valid requests; the error means zswap cannot safely satisfy
the request from partial per-page compressed state, not that the
request is unsupported. Existing callers only distinguish -ENOENT,
so this is a semantic clarification rather than a behavioral change.

Add zswap_is_present() so PMD swap-entry consumers can make the same
range decision before attempting PMD-order swapin. Also use it from
__swap_cache_add_check() for multi-page insertions while holding the
swap cluster lock. That check runs before folio allocation and again
immediately before swap-cache insertion, closing the race with zswap
writeback and rejecting mixed zswap/disk backing with -EBUSY.
