So I'm neutral on > the patch. Thanks for your comment. The previous one might look more common: folio_test_anon(folio) && !folio_test_swapbacked(folio) means folio is MADV_FREE and can be freed without swapping out. And I remove the unneeded !folio_test_swapbacked(folio) check at the expense of losing minor readability. If it is not worth doing this, I will drop this patch. Thanks. > > . >
