I appreciate this is a 1:1 conversion, but maybe we could think about
this a bit. Is there anybody who checks the
PageError()/folio_test_error() for this page/folio?
Maybe wait_dev_supers() checks the PageError() after write_dev_supers()
in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c?
How does _this_ folio end up in btrfs's write_dev_supers()? This is a
swap read. The only folios which are swapped are anonymous and tmpfs.
btrfs takes care of doing its own I/O. wait_dev_supers() is looking
for the error set in btrfs_end_super_write() which is the completion
routine for write_dev_supers(). The pages involved there are attached
to a btrfs address_space, not shmem or anon.

Thanks for your explanation!

Then I think nobody checks the PageError()/folio_test_error() for the page
in patch 1 and patch 2. I'll delete SetPageError() in a v2.
