Syzbot reported a possible data race: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __swap_writepage / scan_swap_map_slots read-write to 0xffff888102fca610 of 8 bytes by task 7106 on cpu 1. read to 0xffff888102fca610 of 8 bytes by task 7080 on cpu 0. While we are in __swap_writepage to read sis->flags, scan_swap_map_slots is trying to update it with SWP_SCANNING. value changed: 0x0000000000008083 -> 0x0000000000004083. While this can be updated non-atomicially, this won't affect SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO, so we consider this data-race safe. This is possibly introduced by commit 3222d8c2a7f8 ("block: remove ->rw_page"), where this if branch is introduced.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
