With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails. The
problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for
file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page. Otherwise, it
can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
randomly.
swap_writepage
bdev_writepage
ops->rw_page
I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.
When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with
brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
