Hi Chris,

Thanks for reviewing. sorry for the late reply as I’ve been getting a lot to do
recently.

you are right. i was blindly copying my previous code

static inline bool arch_thp_swp_supported(void)
{
        return !system_supports_mte();
}
#define arch_thp_swp_supported arch_thp_swp_supported

for arch_thp_swp_supported, there isn't a similar MACRO. so we are depending
on arch_thp_swp_supported as a MACRO for itself in include/linux/huge_mm.h.

/*
 * archs that select ARCH_WANTS_THP_SWAP but don't support THP_SWP due to
 * limitations in the implementation like arm64 MTE can override this to
 * false
 */
#ifndef arch_thp_swp_supported
static inline bool arch_thp_swp_supported(void)
{
        return true;
}
#endif

Now the case is different, we do have  __HAVE_ARCH_PREPARE_TO_SWAP
instead.

you are right, again.

I agree.
