For the !folio_test_anon(folio) case, we can now invoke folio_add_new_anon_rmap()
with the rmap flags set to either EXCLUSIVE or non-EXCLUSIVE. This action will
suppress the VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO check within __folio_add_anon_rmap() while initiating
the process of bringing up mTHP swapin.

  static __always_inline void __folio_add_anon_rmap(struct folio *folio,
                  struct page *page, int nr_pages, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                  unsigned long address, rmap_t flags, enum rmap_level level)
  {
          ...
          if (unlikely(!folio_test_anon(folio))) {
                  VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_large(folio) &&
                                   level != RMAP_LEVEL_PMD, folio);
          }
          ...
  }

It also enhances the code’s readability.

So, with large folio swapin, we would never end up here if any swp PTE is !exclusive, because we would make sure to allocate a large folio only for suitable regions, correct?

It can certainly happen during swapout + refault with large folios. But there, we will always have folio_test_anon() still set and wouldn't run into this code path.

(it will all be better with per-folio PAE bit, but that will take some more time until I actually get to implement it properly, handling all the nasty corner cases)

Better add a comment regarding why we are sure that the complete thing is exclusive (e.g., currently only small folios).

  	} else {
  		folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes(folio, page, nr_pages, vma, address,
  					rmap_flags);
