Hi Ying, I crashed on this in v6 as reported and it still dies on me now.

Problem is 'pmd' is passed here, which has been pmdp_invalidate()ed under the
assumption that it is not a swap entry.  pmd's pfn bits get inverted for L1TF,
so the swap entry gets corrupted and this BUG is the first place that notices.

I don't see a reason to invalidate so soon, so what about just moving the
invalidation down, past the migration/swap checks?
