Forgiving the ignorant copy'n'paste, this is required:

+               } else if (PageSwapCache(page)) {
+                       swp_entry_t entry = { .val = page_private(head + i) };
+                       __xa_store(&swap_address_space(entry)->i_pages,
+                                  swp_offset(entry),
+                                  head + i, 0);
                }
        }
 
The locking is definitely wrong.
