Huang Ying aeb309b81c mm/mincore.c: fix race between swapoff and mincore 
Via commit 4b3ef9daa4 ("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.

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.
