[PATCH v3 04/11] mm: zswap: add range lookup for large-folio swapin
From: Usama Arif
Date: Fri Jul 03 2026 - 13:39:49 EST
From: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@xxxxxx>
A large folio reaches zswap_load() only when the caller expects the
whole range to be on disk. Zswap still stores large folios as
independent order-0 entries, so reconstructing a large folio from
zswap entries would risk returning partially initialized data.
Teach zswap_load() to scan the covered range. If no slot is in zswap,
return -ENOENT so swap_read_folio() reads the backing device. If any
slot is still in zswap, fail the large-folio read so the caller can
fall back to per-page swapin.
Add zswap_range_has_entry() so PMD swap-entry consumers can make the
same range decision before attempting PMD-order swapin.
