I concur that this is an implementation detail. However, we should be
bold enough
to state that swap slots will be contiguous, considering we are
currently utilizing
folio->swap instead of subpage->swap ?

Right. technically I agree. Given that we still have many tasks involving even
swapping in contiguous swap slots, it's unlikely that swapping in large folios
for non-contiguous entries will occur in the foreseeable future :-)

I recall Matthew Wilcox strongly objected to using "page" as the
parameter, so I've
discarded that approach. Alternatively, it appears I can consistently pass
folio->swap to this function and ensure the function always retrieves
the first entry?
