That looks great to me too.

>>>             if (likely(!non_swap_entry(entry))) {
>>> -                   if (swap_duplicate(entry) < 0)
>>> +                   if (swap_duplicate(&entry, false) < 0)
>>>                             return entry.val;
>>>  
>>>                     /* make sure dst_mm is on swapoff's mmlist. */
