Why call it "p" here and not "si" like in the other code you are touching?

I'm wondering if we could find a way to clean this up to achieve here:


if (WARN_ON(end_offset > si->max))
	goto out;

/*
  * First free all entries in the range.$
  */
any_only_cache = __free_swap_entries(si, entry, nr);

/*
  * Short-circuit the below loop if none of the entries had their
  * reference drop to zero.
  */
if (!any_only_cache)
	goto out;




Whereby move the fallback loop in that new function

static bool __free_swap_entries(struct swap_info_struct *si,
		swp_entry_t entry, int nr)
{
	const unsigned long start_offset = swp_offset(entry);
	const unsigned long end_offset = start_offset + nr;
	bool any_only_cache = false;

	if (nr > 1 && swap_count(data_race(si->swap_map[start_offset]) == 1)) {
		[... what try_batch_swap_entries_free() would do ...]
	}

fallback:
	for (offset = start_offset; offset < end_offset; offset++) {
		if (data_race(si->swap_map[offset])) {
		[... what the fallback code would do ...]
	}
	return any_only_cache;
}
