This breaks linux-next build:

mm/page_table_check.c: In function ‘swap_cached_writable’:
mm/page_table_check.c:192:24: error: ‘SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE_WRITE’
undeclared (first use in this function)
  192 |         return type == SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE_WRITE ||
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/page_table_check.c:192:24: note: each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in
mm/page_table_check.c:194:1: error: control reaches end of non-void
function [-Werror=return-type]
  194 | }

Looks like there is a dependence on CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE.
