You can easily have anon pages that are at the swapcache at this point
(especially, because this function is called before our unsharing
checks), the comment is misleading.
And there is nothing wrong about pinning an anon page that's still in
the swapcache. The following folio_test_anon() check will allow them.
The check made sense in page_mapping(), but here it's not required.
I do agree regarding folio_test_slab(), though. Should we WARN in case
we would have one?
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_slab(folio)))
return false;
+ if (unlikely(folio_test_slab(folio) || folio_test_swapcache(folio)))
+ return false;

+ * cannot proceed, which means no actions performed under RCU can
+ * proceed either.
+ *
+ * inodes and thus their mappings are freed under RCU, which means the
+ * mapping cannot be freed beneath us and thus we can safely dereference
+ * it.
+ */
+ lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled();
+
+ /*
+ * However, there may be operations which _alter_ the mapping, so ensure
+ * we read it once and only once.
+ */
+ mapping = READ_ONCE(folio->mapping);
+
+ /*
+ * The mapping may have been truncated, in any case we cannot determine
+ * if this mapping is safe - fall back to slow path to determine how to
+ * proceed.
+ */
+ if (!mapping)
+ return false;
+
+ /* Anonymous folios are fine, other non-file backed cases are not. */
+ mapping_flags = (unsigned long)mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS;
+ if (mapping_flags)
+ return mapping_flags == PAGE_MAPPING_ANON;
KSM pages are also (shared) anonymous folios, and that check would fail
-- which is ok (the following unsharing checks rejects long-term pinning
them), but a bit inconstent with your comment and folio_test_anon().
It would be more consistent (with your comment and also the
folio_test_anon implementation) to have here:
return mapping_flags & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON;
+
+ /*
+ * At this point, we know the mapping is non-null and points to an
+ * address_space object. The only remaining whitelisted file system is
+ * shmem.
+ */
+ return shmem_mapping(mapping);
+}

In general, LGTM
