Patch series "Return head pages from find_*_entry", v2. This patch series started out as part of the THP patch set, but it has some nice effects along the way and it seems worth splitting it out and submitting separately. Currently find_get_entry() and find_lock_entry() return the page corresponding to the requested index, but the first thing most callers do is find the head page, which we just threw away. As part of auditing all the callers, I found some misuses of the APIs and some plain inefficiencies that I've fixed. The diffstat is unflattering, but I added more kernel-doc and a new wrapper. This patch (of 8); Provide this functionality from the swap cache. It's useful for more than just mincore(). Signed-off-by:
