[PATCH 3.16 167/212] mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endio

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd8416c47715cf324c9a16f13273f9fda87acfed upstream.

With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails.  The
problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for
file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page.  Otherwise, it
can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
randomly.

swap_writepage
  bdev_writepage
    ops->rw_page

I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.

When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with
brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

Fixes: dd6bd0d9c7db ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()")
