[PATCH RFC 10/14] mm/page-flags: introduce folio_test_fs_private()
From: Zi Yan
Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 22:19:53 EST
folio_test_fs_private() wraps folio->private != NULL check and excludes
swapcache and hugetlb folios, since swapcache uses swp_entry_t overlapping
with folio->private and hugetlb sets its own flags in folio->private.
Replace open code with the helper, since core MM does this check
frequently.
No functional change intended.
