Hi Peter,

Commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()") moved the call to swap_free() before the call to set_pte_at(), which meant that the MTE tags could end up being freed before set_pte_at() had a chance to restore them. Fix it by adding a call to the arch_swap_restore() hook before the call to swap_free().

It looks like the intention is for this patch to land in 6.4, whereas the other two in the series could go in later, right? If so, I was expecting Andrew to pick this one up but he's not actually on CC. I've added him now, but you may want to send this as a separate fix so it's obvious what needs picking up for this cycle.
Cheers,
Will
