[PATCH RFC 10/14] mm/page-flags: introduce folio_test_fs_private()

Zi Yan <[email protected]> Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:13:33 -0400
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-trace-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-fsdevel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kvack.linux-mm
Message-ID <[email protected]>
folio_test_fs_private() wraps folio->private != NULL check and excludes
swapcache and hugetlb folios, since swapcache uses swp_entry_t overlapping
with folio->private and hugetlb sets its own flags in folio->private.
Replace open code with the helper, since core MM does this check
frequently.

No functional change intended.
