Subject: mm: avoid marking swap cached page as lazyfree
MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear
SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap cache
between these two steps by page reclaim. Page reclaim could add the page
to swap cache and unmap the page. After page reclaim, the page is added
back to lru. At that time, we probably start draining per-cpu pagevec and
mark the page lazyfree. So the page could be in a state with SwapBacked
cleared and PG_swapcache set. Next time there is a refault in the virtual
address, do_swap_page can find the page from swap cache but the page has
PageSwapCache false because SwapBacked isn't set, so do_swap_page will
bail out and do nothing. The task will keep running into fault handler.
