[PATCH 5/5] mm/swap_state: fix swap_cluster_readahead() race with swapoff

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



swap_cluster_readahead() could race with swapoff and might dereference
si->swap_file after it's released by swapoff. Close this race window by
using get/put_swap_device() pair.
