This patch series reworks the logic that handles swapping in page
metadata to fix a reported bug [1] where metadata can sometimes not
be swapped in correctly after commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW
logic in do_swap_page()").

v2:
- Call arch_swap_restore() directly instead of via arch_do_swap_page()

Peter Collingbourne (2):
  mm: Call arch_swap_restore() from do_swap_page()
