I think the problem with CLONE_VM is following race

CPU A CPU B

do_swap_page do_swap_page
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path
swap_readpage original data
swap_slot_free_notify
delete zram entry
swap_readpage zero data
pte_lock
map the *zero data* to userspace
pte_unlock
pte_lock
if (!pte_same)
goto out_nomap;
pte_unlock
return and next refault will
read zero data

So, CPU A and B see zero data. With patchset below, it changes


CPU A CPU B

do_swap_page do_swap_page
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path
swap_readpage original data
pte_lock
map the original data
swap_free
swap_range_free
bd_disk->fops->swap_slot_free_notify
swap_readpage read zero data
pte_unlock
pte_lock
if (!pte_same)
goto out_nomap;
pte_unlock
return and next refault will
read correct data again

Here, CPU A could read zero data from zram but that's not a bug
(IOW, warning injected doesn't mean bug).

The concern of the patch would increase memory size since it could
increase wasted memory with compressed form in zram and uncompressed
form in address space. However, most of cases of zram uses no
readahead and then, do_swap_page is followed by swap_free so it will
free the compressed from in zram quickly.

Ivan, with this patch, you can see the warning you added in the zram
but it shouldn't trigger the userspace corruption as mentioned above
if I understand correctly.

Could you test whether the patch prevent userspace broken?
