[PATCH 1/8] mm/swapfile: add batched version of folio_dup_swap
From: Dev Jain
Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 03:10:12 EST
Add folio_dup_swap_pages to handle a batch of consecutive pages. Note
that folio_dup_swap already can handle a subset of this: nr_pages == 1 and
nr_pages == folio_nr_pages(folio). Generalize this to any nr_pages.
Currently we have a not-so-nice logic of passing in subpage == NULL if
we mean to exercise the logic on the entire folio, and subpage != NULL if
we want to exercise the logic on only that subpage. Remove this
indirection: the caller invokes folio_dup_swap_pages() if it wants to
operate on a range of pages in the folio (i.e nr_pages may be anything
between 1 and folio_nr_pages()), and invokes folio_dup_swap() if it
wants to operate on the entire folio.
