Thank you both.

Sorry but let me ask again.

Because PageAnon is redundant, let me remove it on checking lazyfree.
Then, I think, was_swapbacked (first suggestion) is better then was_lazyfree (second suggestion),
because it just checks PageSwapBacked(page). And we knows was_swapbacked is used for lazyfree on stat->nr_lazyfree_fail.

If you don't mind let me pick was_swapbacked instead of was_lazyfree
bool was_lazyfree = PageSwapBacked(page);

Thank you
