mm/page_io.c: do not free shared swap slots
The following race is observed due to which a processes faulting on a
swap entry, finds the page neither in swapcache nor swap. This causes
zram to give a zero filled page that gets mapped to the process,
resulting in a user space crash later.
Consider parent and child processes Pa and Pb sharing the same swap slot
with swap_count 2. Swap is on zram with SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO set.
Virtual address 'VA' of Pa and Pb points to the shared swap entry.
Pa Pb
fault on VA fault on VA
do_swap_page do_swap_page
lookup_swap_cache fails lookup_swap_cache fails
Pb scheduled out
swapin_readahead (deletes zram entry)
swap_free (makes swap_count 1)
Pb scheduled in
swap_readpage (swap_count == 1)
Takes SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path
zram enrty absent
zram gives a zero filled page
Fix this by making sure that swap slot is freed only when swap count
drops down to one.
