Subject: mm/zswap: don't return LRU_SKIP if we have dropped lru lock
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2024 13:28:49 +0000
LRU_SKIP can only be returned if we don't ever dropped lru lock, or we
need to return LRU_RETRY to restart from the head of lru list.
Otherwise, the iteration might continue from a cursor position that was
freed while the locks were dropped.
Actually we may need to introduce another LRU_STOP to really terminate the
ongoing shrinking scan process, when we encounter a warm page already in
the swap cache. The current list_lru implementation doesn't have this
function to early break from __list_lru_walk_one.
