From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endio
With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The
problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for
file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it
can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
randomly.
swap_writepage
bdev_writepage
ops->rw_page
I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.
When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test
with brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.
Fixes: dd6bd0d9c7db ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()")
