Nice catch from the bot. It's a new added sanity check in V3 just
in case the swap count maybe grow larger than UINT_MAX, which should
never happen, but just in case.

I really should just use the existing helper macro for that:

diff --git a/mm/swapfile.c b/mm/swapfile.c

+++ b/mm/swapfile.c
@@ -1624,7 +1624,7 @@ static int __swap_cluster_dup_entry(struct swap_cluster_info *ci,
}
} else if (count == SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX) {
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(ci->extend_table[ci_off] >=
- (BIT(BITS_PER_TYPE(ci->extend_table[0]))) - 1);
+ type_max(typeof(ci->extend_table[0])));
++ci->extend_table[ci_off];
} else {
/* Never happens unless counting went wrong */
