The stub for non_swap_entry() may not help much, because MAX_SWAPFILES has already contained all the information to decide whether a swap entry is real swap entry or pesudo ones (migrations, ...). There can be some performance influences on non_swap_entry() with below conditions all met: !CONFIG_MIGRATION && !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE && !CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE But that's definitely not the major config most machines will use, at the meantime it's already in a slow path of swap entry (being parsed from a swap pte), so IMHO it shouldn't be a major issue. Also according to the analysis from Alistair, somehow the stub didn't do the job right [1]. To make the code cleaner, let's drop the stub.

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.
