Subject[PATCH v2 3/5] swap: fix do_swap_page() race with swapoff
Date
When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:

CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
swap_readpage(skip swap cache case)
if (data_race(sis->flags & SWP_FS_OPS)) {
swapoff
p->flags = &= ~SWP_VALID;
..
synchronize_rcu();
..
p->swap_file = NULL;
struct file *swap_file = sis->swap_file;
struct address_space *mapping = swap_file->f_mapping;[oops!]

Note that for the pages that are swapped in through swap cache, this isn't
an issue. Because the page is locked, and the swap entry will be marked
with SWAP_HAS_CACHE, so swapoff() can not proceed until the page has been
unlocked.

Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for
swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long
time. And this race may not be really pernicious because swapoff is usually
done when system shutdown only. To reduce the performance overhead on the
hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close
this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying).
