Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mm/shmem: don't release a swapin-error marker as a swap entry
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 09:27:47 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111142655.2313974-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051044-failed-6.18-e4b92891aaca@kernel.org>

From: David Carlier <devnexen@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit e4b92891aaca0d37b5973362dd14747a65406650 ]

A failed shmem swapin (eg, EIO) frees the swap slot and leaves a
PTE_MARKER_POISONED entry in the page cache.  On truncate or eviction
shmem_free_swap() passes that marker to swap_put_entries_direct(), which
warns because it is not a swap entry.  There is nothing left to release
either way.

Skip the release for non-swap entries, as every other caller already does.
