Hi David, On Fri, Jan 13, 2023 at 6:16 PM David Hildenbrand [off-list ref] wrote:
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by stealing one bit from the type. Generic MM currently only uses 5 bits for the type (MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT), so the stolen bit is effectively unused. The shift by 2 when converting between PTE and arch-specific swap entry makes the swap PTE layout a little bit harder to decipher. While at it, drop the comment from paulus---copy-and-paste leftover from powerpc where we actually have _PAGE_HASHPTE---and mask the type in __swp_entry_to_pte() as well.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit b5c88f21531c3457

What is this m68k change doing here? Sorry for not noticing this earlier. Furthermore, several things below look strange to me...

CF_PAGE_NOCACHE is 0x80, so this is still bit 7, thus the new comment is wrong?

So the PowerPC 4xx comment is still here?
