[PATCH v2] mm: swap: prevent possible data-race in __try_to_reclaim_swap

From: Jeongjun Park
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 03:06:38 EST


A report [1] was uploaded from syzbot.

In the previous commit 862590ac3708 ("mm: swap: allow cache reclaim to skip
slot cache"), the __try_to_reclaim_swap() function reads offset and folio->entry
from folio without folio_lock protection.

In the currently reported KCSAN log, it is assumed that the actual data-race
will not occur because the calltrace that does WRITE already obtains the
folio_lock and then writes.

However, the existing __try_to_reclaim_swap() function was already implemented
to perform reads under folio_lock protection [1], and there is a risk of a
data-race occurring through a function other than the one shown in the KCSAN
log.

Therefore, I think it is appropriate to change read operations for
folio to be performed under folio_lock.
