entries.  No?

I was not able to convince myself that swapout code would clear the mark when replacing the entry.

shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache()->shmem_replace_entry()

will perform a xas_store() with swp_to_radix_entry(swap) under xa_lock_irq().

Reading the doc, and staring at the code for a bit too long, I think xas_store() would only clear tags when deleting an entry (passing NULL).

But maybe xas_store() will always clear tags?

In memfd code, I think we could see swapout between memfd_tag_pins() and the check for tags, where we drop the xa_lock. Unless some other lock (inode lock?) protects us.

Thanks!
