folios that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any filesystem. When such a folio is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the folio itself does not belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's ->dirty_folio() address_space operation makes no sense. This is for folios in the given address space, and a folio to be written to swap does not exist in the given address space. So drop swap_dirty_folio() which calls the address-space's ->dirty_folio(), and always use noop_dirty_folio(), which is appropriate for folios being swapped out.

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.
