page lock of the swap cache? Did you really mean to say that or am I confused?

"Page lock of the page that is in the swap cache?"


- copy_nonpresent_pte() -> swap_duplicate() and try_to_unmap_one() ->
   swap_duplicate(): the page table lock is held.

- __read_swap_cache_async() -> swapcache_prepare(): enclosed with
   get/put_swap_device() in __read_swap_cache_async() already.

So, it's safe to remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate().
