It does not always happen and when it<br /> triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.<br /> <br /> The intent of commit b653db77350c patch was to avoid the case where<br /> PG_private is clear but folio-&gt;private is not-NULL. However, THP tail<br /> pages uses page-&gt;private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as<br /> stated in the documentation for struct folio. This patch only clobbers<br /> page-&gt;private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and<br /> warns once if page-&gt;private had an unexpected value.
