Subject: [PATCH v3 3/9] mm: slightly clarify KSM logic in do_swap_page()
Date:   Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:29:33 +0100
Message-Id: <20220131162940.210846-4-david@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20220131162940.210846-1-david@redhat.com>

Let's make it clearer that KSM might only have to copy a page
in case we have a page in the swapcache, not if we allocated a fresh
page and bypassed the swapcache. While at it, add a comment why this is
usually necessary and merge the two swapcache conditions.
