Good catch! It looks like a redundant check: the
page_check_address() at the beginning of the function guarantees that
!is_migration_entry() or !is_migration_entry() tests will all be TRUE.

So let's do this?

- Â Â Â Â Â Â Â else if (!is_migration_entry(pte_to_swp_entry(*pte)))
+ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â else


Thanks,
