If zswap was enabled and then disabled, some pages may still be in zswap. We do not load the pages from zswap when it is disabled, we just stop storing new pages. So if you just rely in checking whether zswap is enabled at swapin time to decide whether to use large folios, you may end up with a situation where zswap is disabled, yet parts of the large folio you are trying to swapin (or all of it) is in zswap. This is why I think we'll need to track whether zswap was ever enabled instead (or if a page was ever stored). > > Thanks > Barry
