Patch series "mm/swapfile: fix and cleanup swap list iterations", v2. This series fixes a potential list iteration issue in swap_sync_discard() when devices are removed, and includes a cleanup for __folio_throttle_swaprate(). This patch (of 2): When the next node is removed from the plist (e.g. by swapoff), plist_del() makes the node point to itself, causing the iteration to loop on the same entry indefinitely. Add a plist_node_empty() check to detect this case and restart iteration, allowing swap_sync_discard() to continue processing remaining swap devices that still have pending discard entries. Additionally, switch from swap_avail_lock/swap_avail_head to swap_lock/swap_active_head so that iteration is only affected by swapoff operations rather than frequent availability changes, reducing exceptional condition checks and lock contention.

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 reStructuredText 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.
