So I think that it's better to convert it back > in swp_entry_to_pte() when we do swap_entry-to-pte conversion.
No, soft dirty bit lays _only_ inside pte entry in memory, iow swp_entry_t never has this bit, thus to be able to find soft dirty status in swp_entry_to_pte you need to extend this function and pass pte entry itself as an argument, which eventually will bring more massive patch and will be a way more confusing I think.
