Thanks for reviewing,
What I have deduced from the dmesg is:
In function do_swap_page,
after invoking
3385 si = get_swap_device(entry); /* rcu_read_lock */
and before
3561 out:
3562 if (si)
3563 put_swap_device(si);
The thread got scheduled out in
3454 locked = lock_page_or_retry(page, vma->vm_mm, vmf->flags);
I am only familiar with Linux RCU subsystem, hope mm people can solve our
confusions.

The warning and the BUG report is very each to trigger.
