------------------------------------------------------ From: Youngjun Park youngjun.park@lge.com Subject: mm: swap: remove duplicate nr_swap_pages decrement in get_swap_page_of_type() Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2025 17:24:56 +0900
After commit 4f78252da887, nr_swap_pages is decremented in swap_range_alloc(). Since cluster_alloc_swap_entry() calls swap_range_alloc() internally, the decrement in get_swap_page_of_type() causes double-decrementing.
Remove the duplicate decrement.
