Hi Ryan,

While working on the new version of this patch, I've come to recognize
that, for the time being, it's
imperative to maintain a natural alignment. The following code
operates on the basis of this
assumption.

/**
 * folio_file_page - The page for a particular index.
 * @folio: The folio which contains this index.
 * @index: The index we want to look up.
 *
 * Sometimes after looking up a folio in the page cache, we need to
 * obtain the specific page for an index (eg a page fault).
 *
 * Return: The page containing the file data for this index.
 */
static inline struct page *folio_file_page(struct folio *folio, pgoff_t index)
{
        return folio_page(folio, index & (folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1));
}


It's invoked everywhere, particularly within do_swap_page(). Nonetheless,
I remain confident that I can consistently pass the first entry to
arch_swap_restore().
