Yeah, I had trouble with the naming here too.

get_page_even_from_swap()
find_get_shmem_page()

or maybe refactor the whole thing:

        struct page *page = find_get_entry(mapping, index);
        page = find_swap_page(mapping, page);

struct page *find_swap_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        swp_entry_t swp;
        struct swap_info_struct *si;

        if (!xa_is_value(page))
                return page;
        if (!shmem_mapping(mapping))
                return NULL;

        ...
}
