Patch series "mm: Use pte marker for swapin errors". This series uses the pte marker to replace the swapin error swap entry, then we save one more swap entry slot for swap devices. A new pte marker bit is defined. This patch (of 2): The PTE markers code is tiny and now it's enabled for most of the distributions. It's fine to keep it as-is, but to make a broader use of it (e.g. replacing read error swap entry) it needs to be there always otherwise we need special code path to take care of !PTE_MARKER case. It'll be easier just make pte marker always exist. Use this chance to extend its usage to anonymous too by simply touching up some of the old comments, because it'll be used for anonymous pages in the follow up patches.

README
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.
