Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 61ef186557 mm: factor find_get_incore_page out of mincore_page
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().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
