Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

This series cleans up a swap cache helper only used by mincore, move it
back into mincore code. Also separate the swap cache related logics out
of shmem / page cache logics in mincore.

With this series we have less lines of code and better performance.

Before this series:
mincore on a swaped out 16G anon mmap range:
Took 488220 us
mincore on 16G shmem mmap range:
Took 530272 us.

After this series:
mincore on a swaped out 16G anon mmap range:
Took 446763 us
mincore on 16G shmem mmap range:
Took 460496 us.

About ~10% faster.

Kairui Song (2):
  mm/mincore, swap: consolidate swap cache checking for mincore
  mm/mincore: use a helper for checking the swap cache
