Maybe a leftover from reshuffling/reworking patches?
Hi, David,
folio_index calls swapcache_index, and swapcache_index is defined as:
#define swapcache_index(folio) __page_file_index(&(folio)->page)
Where it casts the folio to page first, then call __page_file_index, __page_file_index is a function and works on pages.
After this commit __page_file_index is converted to __folio_swap_cache_index. This change is a bit of trivial but we get rid of the internal page conversion.
I can simplify the commit message, just say drop page_index to make the code cleaner, if this is confusing.
