Thanks for your advice. Do you think updating the log as below is OK?

~~~~~~~~
If a swap entry tests positive for either is_[migration|hwpoison]_entry(), then
its swap_type() is among SWP_MIGRATION_READ, SWP_MIGRATION_WRITE and SWP_HWPOISON.
All these types >= MAX_SWAPFILES, exactly what is asserted with non_swap_entry().

So the checking non_swap_entry() in is_hugetlb_entry_migration() and
is_hugetlb_entry_hwpoisoned() is redundant.

Let's remove it to optimize code.
~~~~~~~~

Thanks
