I think it is

1248 void page_add_new_anon_rmap(struct page *page,
1249 struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, bool compound)
1250 {
1251 int nr = compound ? hpage_nr_pages(page) : 1;
1252
1253 VM_BUG_ON_VMA(address < vma->vm_start || address >= vma->vm_end, vma);
1254 __SetPageSwapBacked(page);
