Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/migrate_device: Try to handle swapcache pages

From: Mika Penttilä <[email protected]>

Migrating file pages and swapcache pages into device memory is not supported.
The decision is done based on page_mapping(). For now, swapcache pages are not migrated.

Things can however be improved, for swapcache pages. Try to get rid of the swap cache,
and if successful, go ahead as with other anonymous pages.

I think we can delete the following 2 lines of comments. They add
nothing except what code says already.

Otherwise looks good to me.

They are also a bit confusing, because a private file-backed mapping is
treated as anonymous so folio_test_anon() won't filter those
out.

I will test this tomorrow but the change looks good so please add:
