Okay! Thanks for commenting.

You are correct. The xas's address space should be changed.

Thanks for suggestion.
I make a patch based on your suggestion. IIUC about Xarray,
after running xas_for_each(), xas.xa_index can be less than the end if
there are empty slots on last portion of array. Handling this case is
also considered in my patch.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH v6 4/6] mm/swapcache: support to handle the shadow entries
Workingset detection for anonymous page will be implemented in the
following patch and it requires to store the shadow entries into the
swapcache. This patch implements an infrastructure to store the shadow
entry in the swapcache.
