SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 3/5] swap: fix do_swap_page() race with swapoff

This is OK for swap cache cases. So

if (data_race(si->flags & SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO))

should be shown here.

I still suggest to squash PATCH 1-3, at least PATCH 1-2. That will
change the relevant code together and make it easier to review.

Huang, Ying
