Sorry for misunderstood your point.
It would be better to remain more detaily for git log ?

'may_swap' applies not only to anon pages but to mapped file pages as
well. 'may_swap' term is sometime used for 'swap', sometime used for
'sync|discard'.
In case of anon pages, 'may_swap' determines whether pages were swapout or not.
but In case of mapped file pages, it determines whether pages are
synced or discarded. so, 'may_swap' is rather awkward. Rename it to
'may_unmap' which is the actual meaning.

If you find wrong word and sentence, Please, fix it. :)
