LGTM, Thanks!

And, there's some history information in commit b243dcbf2f13 ("swap:
remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async").

"
    Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read
    latency for block devices that can be polled.  However later commit [2]
    removed polling support.  Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll
    parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with
    synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.
    
    [1] commit 23955622ff8d ("swap: add block io poll in swapin path")
    [2] commit 9650b453a3d4 ("block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio")
"

IMO, it will help people to understand the code change to add some
history information as above, or refer to the commit.
