From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> swapcache_free() takes two arguments: void swapcache_free(swp_entry_t entry, struct page *page) Most of its callers (5/7) are from error handling paths haven't even instantiated a page, so they pass page=NULL. Both of the callers that call in with a 'struct page' create and pass in a temporary swp_entry_t. Now that we are deferring clearing page_private() until after swapcache_free() has been called, we can just create a variant that takes a 'struct page' and does the temporary variable in the helper. That leaves all the other callers doing swapcache_free(entry, NULL) so create another helper for them that makes it clear that they need only pass in a swp_entry_t. One downside here is that delete_from_swap_cache() now calls swap_address_space() via page_mapping() instead of calling swap_address_space() directly. In doing so, it removes one more case of the swap cache code being special-cased, which is a good thing in my book. But it does cost us a function call.
