[PATCH v5 2/4] swap: fix do_swap_page() race with swapoff

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Sun Apr 25 2021 - 05:54:37 EST


When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:

CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
if (data_race(si->flags & SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO)
swap_readpage
if (data_race(sis->flags & SWP_FS_OPS)) {
swapoff
..
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.

Fix this race by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent
swapoff.

Fixes: 0bcac06f27d7 ("mm,swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device")
