Subject: mm: use a folio in the softleaf_is_device_private path
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:07:51 +0800

Patch series "mm: folio conversion and refactoring in do_swap_page()", v2.

Convert the device-private migration path in do_swap_page() to use folio
APIs, then extract all non-swap entry handling into a new
do_non_swap_page() helper to improve readability and reduce the size of
the main swap fault function.


This patch (of 2):

Use the folio APIs in the device_private migration path of do_swap_page(),
replacing four calls to compound_head() with one.
