The general rule to use a swap entry is as follows.
When we get a swap entry, if there isn't some other way to prevent
swapoff, such as page lock for swap cache, page table lock, etc., the
swap entry may become invalid because of swapoff. Then, we need to
enclose all swap related functions with get_swap_device() and
put_swap_device(), unless the swap functions call
get/put_swap_device() by themselves.
Add the rule as comments of get_swap_device(), and cleanup some
functions which call get/put_swap_device().
1. Enlarge the get/put_swap_device() protection range in
__read_swap_cache_async(). This makes the function a little easier to
be understood because we don't need to consider swapoff. And this
makes it possible to remove get/put_swap_device() calling in some
function called by __read_swap_cache_async().
2. Remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_count(). Which is call in
do_swap_page() only, which encloses the call with get/put_swap_device()
already.
3. Remove get/put_swap_device() in __swp_swapcount(). Which is call
in __read_swap_cache_async() only, which encloses the call with
get/put_swap_device() already.
4. Remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate(). Which is called
by
- swap_shmem_alloc(): the swap cache is locked.
- copy_nonpresent_pte() -> swap_duplicate() and try_to_unmap_one() ->
swap_duplicate(): the page table lock is held.
- __read_swap_cache_async() -> swapcache_prepare(): enclosed with
get/put_swap_device() already.
Other get/put_swap_device() usages are checked too.
