Subject: [RESEND v7 13/29] mm: zswap: reject high-order swap cache allocations backed by zswap
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:28:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914122950.3283997-14-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914122950.3283997-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

zswap stores swapped-out pages one at a time, so a range of swap slots can
be split between zswap entries and the backing device. A high-order
swap-cache folio over such a range cannot be read back in one go: the disk
read would return stale or zero data for every slot zswap owns.

Reject that in __swap_cache_alloc(). Do the check after the folio is in the
swap cache: from that point zswap can neither start storing nor start
writing back any slot in the range, so the answer is stable. Callers
already fall back to order-0, which zswap_load() handles per page.

Export zswap_is_present() for the PMD-order swap-in users added later.
