Subject: mm: swap: use correct step in loop to wait all clusters in wait_for_allocation()
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:08:46 +0800

Use correct step in loop to wait all clusters in wait_for_allocation(). 
If we miss some cluster in wait_for_allocation(), use after free may occur
as follows:

shmem_writepage                  swapoff
 folio_alloc_swap
  get_swap_pages
   scan_swap_map_slots
    cluster_alloc_swap_entry
     alloc_swap_scan_cluster
      cluster_alloc_range
       /* SWP_WRITEOK is valid */
       if (!(si->flags & SWP_WRITEOK))

                                  ...
                                  del_from_avail_list(p, true);
                                  ...
                                  /* miss the cluster in shmem_writepage */
                                  wait_for_allocation()
                                  ...
                                  try_to_unuse()

       memset(si->swap_map + start, usage, nr_pages);
       swap_range_alloc(si, nr_pages);
       ci->count += nr_pages;
       /* return a valid entry */

                                  ...
                                  exit_swap_address_space(p->type);
                                  ...

 ...
 add_to_swap_cache
  /* dereference swap_address_space(entry) which is NULL */
  xas_lock_irq(&xas);
