Miaohe Lin 8e4af3917b mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff
[ Upstream commit 2efa33fc7f6ec94a3a538c1a264273c889be2b36 ]

When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:

CPU 1                                         CPU 2
-----                                         -----
shmem_swapin
  swap_cluster_readahead
    if (likely(si->flags & (SWP_BLKDEV | SWP_FS_OPS))) {
                                              swapoff
                                                ..
                                                si->swap_file = NULL;
                                                ..
    struct inode *inode = si->swap_file->f_mapping->host;[oops!]

Close this race window by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against
concurrent swapoff.

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.
