right, that is why we are reading and checking PTE0 before calling
swap_pte_batch()
right now.
folio_ptep = vmf->pte - idx;
folio_pte = ptep_get(folio_ptep);
if (!is_swap_pte(folio_pte) || non_swap_entry(pte_to_swp_entry(folio_pte)) ||
swap_pte_batch(folio_ptep, nr, folio_pte, &any_swap_shared) != nr)
goto check_pte;
So, if I understand correctly, you're proposing that we should directly check
PTE0 in swap_pte_batch(). Personally, I don't have any objections to this idea.
However, I'd also like to hear the feedback from Ryan and David :-)

ok. Thanks for Ccing sparc developers.
