If allocation is racy with swapoff, we may call free_cluster for cluster already in free list and trigger bug on as following: Allocation Swapoff cluster_alloc_swap_entry ... /* may get a free cluster with offset */ offset = xxx; if (offset) ci = lock_cluster(si, offset); ... del_from_avail_list(p, true); si->flags &= ~SWP_WRITEOK; alloc_swap_scan_cluster(si, ci, ...) ... /* failed to alloc entry from free entry */ if (!cluster_alloc_range(...)) break; ... /* add back a free cluster */ relocate_cluster(si, ci); if (!ci->count) free_cluster(si, ci); VM_BUG_ON(ci->flags == CLUSTER_FLAG_FREE); Despite bug_on could be triggered, call free_cluster() for free cluster only move cluster to tail of list and should be fine. Check cluster is not free before calling free_cluster() in relocate_cluster() to avoid bug_on.
