[PATCH 1/3] mm/memory-failure.c: avoid false-postive PageSwapCache test

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Apr 07 2022 - 09:04:00 EST


PageSwapCache is only reliable when PageAnon is true because PG_swapcache
serves as PG_owner_priv_1 which can be used by fs if it's pagecache page.
So we should test PageAnon to distinguish pagecache page from swapcache
page to avoid false-postive PageSwapCache test.
