Shmem will also be using this function and I don't think the inode_read_congested
logic is relevant for that case.

IMHO, shmem is also relevant. As long as it is trying to readahead from swap, it should check if the underlying device is busy or not regardless of shmem or anon page.

Just like mem_cgroup_try_charge_delay(), which throttles swap rate for both swap page fault and shmem.

Thanks,

So probably change the check to

	if (swp_type(entry) < nr_swapfiles &&
	    inode_read_congested(si->swap_file->f_mapping->host))
		goto skip;
		
+	if (inode_read_congested(inode))
+		goto skip;
+
  	do_poll = false;
  	/* Read a page_cluster sized and aligned cluster around offset. */
  	start_offset = offset & ~mask;

Thanks.
