Subject: [PATCH 2/8] mm: Use find_get_swap_page in memcontrol

The current code does not protect against swapoff of the underlying
swap device, so this is a bug fix as well as a worthwhile reduction in
code complexity.

The refactor makes sense to me, but the name is confusing. We're not
looking for a swap page, we're primarily looking for a file page in
the page cache mapping that's handed in. Only in the special case
where it's a shmem mapping and there is a swap entry do we consult the
auxiliary swap cache.

How about find_get_page_or_swapcache()? find_get_page_shmemswap()?
Maybe you have a better idea. It's a fairly specialized operation that
isn't widely used, so a longer name isn't a bad thing IMO.

Yeah, I had trouble with the naming here too.

get_page_even_from_swap()
find_get_shmem_page()

or maybe refactor the whole thing:

struct page *page = find_get_entry(mapping, index);
page = find_swap_page(mapping, page);

struct page *find_swap_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
swp_entry_t swp;
struct swap_info_struct *si;

if (!xa_is_value(page))
return page;
if (!shmem_mapping(mapping))
return NULL;

...
}

Yeah, I like the idea of two lookups if we can't find a good name for
the operation that combines them. I'd just bubble the control flow
that links them up to the callsite - that still seems plenty compact
for two callsites, and keeps all the shmem magic in shmem code:

page = find_get_entry(mapping, index);
if (xa_is_value(page))
if (shmem_mapping(mapping))
page = lookup_shmem_swap_cache(page);
else
page = NULL;

So close to making radix_to_swp_entry() & co. private to shmem.c, too
- if it weren't for force_shm_swapin_readahead(). Ah well.

Got it. find_get_incore_page(). I was going to go with inmem, but that
it matches mincore sold me on it.

/**
* find_get_incore_page - Find and get a page from the page or swap caches.
* @mapping: The address_space to search.
* @index: The page cache index.
*
* This differs from find_get_page() in that it will also look for the
* page in the swap cache.
*
* Return: The found page or %NULL.
*/

I was focusing too much on what the function did, not why it was doing it.

Nice work, that's perfect.

Me too.
