[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/swap: Add VM_WARN_ON to isolate_lock_cluster()
From: Hui Zhu

From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@xxxxxxxxxx>
swap_cluster_alloc_table() assumes that the caller holds the following
locks:
ci->lock
percpu_swap_cluster.lock
si->global_cluster_lock (required for non-SWP_SOLIDSTATE devices)
There are five call paths leading to swap_cluster_alloc_table():
swap_alloc_hibernation_slot->cluster_alloc_swap_entry
->alloc_swap_scan_list->isolate_lock_cluster->swap_cluster_alloc_table
swap_alloc_slow->cluster_alloc_swap_entry->alloc_swap_scan_list
->isolate_lock_cluster->swap_cluster_alloc_table
swap_alloc_hibernation_slot->cluster_alloc_swap_entry
->swap_reclaim_full_clusters->isolate_lock_cluster
->swap_cluster_alloc_table
swap_alloc_slow->cluster_alloc_swap_entry->swap_reclaim_full_clusters
->isolate_lock_cluster->swap_cluster_alloc_table
swap_reclaim_work->swap_reclaim_full_clusters->isolate_lock_cluster
->swap_cluster_alloc_table
Other paths correctly acquire the necessary locks before calling
swap_cluster_alloc_table().
But swap_reclaim_work() doesn't need do that because
swap_reclaim_full_clusters() just isolate si->full_clusters that
the tables of it must be allocated.
Then isolate_lock_cluster() that is called by
swap_reclaim_full_clusters() will never call swap_cluster_alloc_table().
This patch add a VM_WARN_ON to warning if a fill cluster will be handle
by swap_cluster_alloc_table()
