When under the stress of swapping in/out with KSM enabled, there is a
low probability that kasan reports the BUG of use-after-free in
ksm_might_need_to_copy() when do swap in. The freed object is the
anon_vma got from page_anon_vma(page).
It is because a swapcache page associated with one anon_vma now needed
for another anon_vma, but the page's original vma was unmapped and the
anon_vma was freed. In this case the if condition below always return
false and then alloc a new page to copy. Swapin process then use the
new page and can continue to run well, so this is harmless actually.
} else if (anon_vma->root == vma->anon_vma->root &&
page->index == linear_page_index(vma, address)) {
This patch exchange the order of above two judgment statement to avoid
the kasan warning. Let cpu run "page->index == linear_page_index(vma,
address)" firstly and return false basically to skip the read of
anon_vma->root which may trigger the kasan use-after-free warning:

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.
