You mean pte_next_swp_offset()?

We have equivalent functions for pfn:

  pte_next_pfn()
  pte_advance_pfn()

Although the latter takes an unsigned long and only moves forward currently. I
wonder if it makes sense to have their naming and semantics match? i.e. change
pte_advance_pfn() to pte_move_pfn() and let it move backwards too.

I guess we don't have a need for that and it adds more churn.

Anyway:
