So it is 
	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSwapBacked(page), page);
that is later mentioned that has been removed. Good. Thanks for the
clarification!

OK, good. That is much better. I just didn't see the capability check. I
can see one in packet_create but I do not see any in setsockopt. Maybe I
just got lost in indirection or implied security model.

That might be true right now but it is a very subtle assumption that
might break easily in the future. The point is still that even LRU pages
might be isolated from the LRU list temporarily and you do not want this
to cause the failure easily.
