swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F, this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return. This can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after the caller does set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel can crash in do_task_dead().

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 Restructured Text 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.
