Would swap_pfn_entry_to_page() be slightly better?
The thing is it's very easy to read pfn_*() as a function to take a pfn as
parameter...
Since I'm also recently working on some swap-related new ptes [1], I'm thinking
whether we could name these swap entries as "swap XXX entries". Say, "swap
hwpoison entry", "swap pfn entry" (which is a superset of "swap migration
entry", "swap device exclusive entry", ...). That's where I came with the
above swap_pfn_entry_to_page(), then below will be naturally is_swap_pfn_entry().
No strong opinion as this is already a v8 series (and sorry to chim in this
late), just to raise this up.
