mm/mincore.c: fix race between swapoff and mincore
Via commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"),
after swapoff, the address_space associated with the swap device will be
freed. So swap_address_space() users which touch the address_space need
some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed
during accessing.
When mincore processes an unmapped range for swapped shmem pages, it
doesn't hold the lock to prevent swap device from being swapped off. So
the following race is possible:
CPU1 CPU2
do_mincore() swapoff()
walk_page_range()
mincore_unmapped_range()
__mincore_unmapped_range
mincore_page
as = swap_address_space()
... exit_swap_address_space()
... kvfree(spaces)
find_get_page(as)
The address space may be accessed after being freed.
To fix the race, get_swap_device()/put_swap_device() is used to enclose
find_get_page() to check whether the swap entry is valid and prevent the
swap device from being swapoff during accessing.
