The quilt patch titled Subject: mm-swap-fix-race-when-skipping-swapcache-v4 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-swap-fix-race-when-skipping-swapcache-v4.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-swap-fix-race-when-skipping-swapcache.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm-swap-fix-race-when-skipping-swapcache-v4 Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:20:40 +0800 Add a schedule() if raced to prevent repeated page faults wasting CPU and add noise to perf statistics. Use a bool to state the special case instead of reusing existing variables fixing error handling [Minchan Kim]. Use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) for now instead of schedule() to prevent the busy faulting task holds CPU and livelocks [Huang, Ying].
