Subject: mm/swapfile: make security_vm_enough_memory_mm() work as expected
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2022 22:40:29 +0800

Patch series "A few cleanup and fixup patches for swap", v2.

This series contains a cleaup patch to remove unneeded swap_cache_info
statistics, and two bugfix patches to avoid possible data races of
inuse_pages and so on.  More details can be found in the respective
changelogs.


This patch (of 3):

security_vm_enough_memory_mm() checks whether a process has enough memory
to allocate a new virtual mapping.  And total_swap_pages is considered as
available memory while swapoff tries to make sure there's enough memory
that can hold the swapped out memory.  But total_swap_pages contains the
swap space that is being swapoff.  So security_vm_enough_memory_mm() will
succeed even if there's no memory to hold the swapped out memory because
total_swap_pages always greater than or equal to p->pages.

In order to fix it, p->pages should be subtracted from total_swap_pages
first and then check whether there's enough memory for inuse swap pages.
