    mm/swapfile: unuse_pte can map random data if swap read fails · 9f186f9e

    Patch series "A few fixup patches for mm", v4.
    
    This series contains a few patches to avoid mapping random data if swap
    read fails and fix lost swap bits in unuse_pte.  Also we free hwpoison and
    swapin error entry in madvise_free_pte_range and so on.  More details can
    be found in the respective changelogs.  
    
    
    This patch (of 5):
    
    There is a bug in unuse_pte(): when swap page happens to be unreadable,
    page filled with random data is mapped into user address space.  In case
    of error, a special swap entry indicating swap read fails is set to the
    page table.  So the swapcache page can be freed and the user won't end up
    with a permanently mounted swap because a sector is bad.  And if the page
    is accessed later, the user process will be killed so that corrupted data
    is never consumed.  On the other hand, if the page is never accessed, the
    user won't even notice it.
