Subject: mm: cachestat: fix two shmem bugs
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 05:55:56 -0400

When cachestat on shmem races with swapping and invalidation, there
are two possible bugs:

1) A swapin error can have resulted in a poisoned swap entry in the
   shmem inode's xarray. Calling get_shadow_from_swap_cache() on it
   will result in an out-of-bounds access to swapper_spaces[].

   Validate the entry with non_swap_entry() before going further.

2) When we find a valid swap entry in the shmem's inode, the shadow
   entry in the swapcache might not exist yet: swap IO is still in
   progress and we're before __remove_mapping; swapin, invalidation,
   or swapoff have removed the shadow from swapcache after we saw the
   shmem swap entry.

   This will send a NULL to workingset_test_recent(). The latter
   purely operates on pointer bits, so it won't crash - node 0, memcg
   ID 0, eviction timestamp 0, etc. are all valid inputs - but it's a
   bogus test. In theory that could result in a false "recently
   evicted" count.

   Such a false positive wouldn't be the end of the world. But for
   code clarity and (future) robustness, be explicit about this case.

   Bail on get_shadow_from_swap_cache() returning NULL.
