[PATCH v3 03/14] mm, swap: refactor free_swap_cluster_info to take swap_info_struct

From: Baoquan He

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 06:21:45 EST


Change free_swap_cluster_info() to take struct swap_info_struct* instead
of (cluster_info, maxpages). It now extracts the fields from si and
clears si->cluster_info after freeing to avoid a double free on the
swapon() error path.

The new parameter also lets the xswap path access si->flags in the
function.
