The patch titled Subject: swap: remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is swap-remove-get-put_swap_device-in-__swap_duplicate.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/swap-remove-get-put_swap_device-in-__swap_duplicate.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: swap: remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate() Date: Mon, 29 May 2023 14:13:54 +0800 __swap_duplicate() is called by - swap_shmem_alloc(): the folio in 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() in __read_swap_cache_async() already. So, it's safe to remove get/put_swap_device() in __swap_duplicate().
