    mm/swap: fix swap_info_struct race between swapoff and get_swap_pages() · 6fe7d6b9
    Rongwei Wang authored
    The si->lock must be held when deleting the si from the available list. 
    Otherwise, another thread can re-add the si to the available list, which
    can lead to memory corruption.  The only place we have found where this
    happens is in the swapoff path.  This case can be described as below:
    
    core 0                       core 1
    swapoff
    
    del_from_avail_list(si)      waiting
    
    try lock si->lock            acquire swap_avail_lock
                                 and re-add si into
                                 swap_avail_head
    
    acquire si->lock but missing si already being added again, and continuing
    to clear SWP_WRITEOK, etc.
    
    It can be easily found that a massive warning messages can be triggered
    inside get_swap_pages() by some special cases, for example, we call
    madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) on blocks of touched memory concurrently, meanwhile,
    run much swapon-swapoff operations (e.g.  stress-ng-swap).
    
    However, in the worst case, panic can be caused by the above scene.  In
    swapoff(), the memory used by si could be kept in swap_info[] after
    turning off a swap.  This means memory corruption will not be caused
    immediately until allocated and reset for a new swap in the swapon path. 
    A panic message caused: (with CONFIG_PLIST_DEBUG enabled)

    Now, si->lock locked before calling 'del_from_avail_list()' to make sure
    other thread see the si had been deleted and SWP_WRITEOK cleared together,
    will not reinsert again.
    
    This problem exists in versions after stable 5.10.y.
