From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
When the swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information
from the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any
lock held to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may
cause the race like below,
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
swapin_readahead
__read_swap_cache_async
swapoff swapcache_prepare
p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate
p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */
Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race
may not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to
be fixed.
To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the
specified swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep
the swap entry valid via preventing the swap device from being
swapoff, until put_swap_device() is called.
Because swapoff() is very race code path, to make the normal path runs
as fast as possible, RCU instead of reference count is used to
implement get/put_swap_device(). From get_swap_device() to
put_swap_device(), the RCU read lock is held, so synchronize_rcu() in
swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is called.
In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the
struct swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after
swapoff, so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up
and swapoff too.

Changelog:
v3:
- Re-implemented with RCU to reduce the overhead of normal paths
v2:
- Re-implemented with SRCU to reduce the overhead of normal paths.
- Avoid to check whether the swap device has been swapoff in
get_swap_device(). Because we can check the origin of the swap
entry to make sure the swap device hasn't bee swapoff.
