[PATCH v3 2/4] mm, swap: only allow swapped-out slots into the swap cache

[Youngjun Park <youngjun.park@lge.com>]

__swap_cache_add_check() turns away folio entries and slots with no count
and lets everything else in.  That is safe only when the caller owns the
slot.  Cluster readahead owns nothing, it walks a raw page_cluster sized
window of offsets around the faulting entry, so it can land on any slot.

A bad slot gets in.  The check reads the count with __swp_tb_get_count(),
which shifts the count bits out without looking at the type, and
SWP_TB_BAD has all of them set, so the slot reads as SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX.
Readahead then allocates a folio and reads the offset off the device for a
slot nothing will ever swap in, and the folio entry that replaces it drops
the bad marker.

Readahead used to be guarded by swap_entry_swapped(), which goes through
swp_tb_get_count() and gets -EINVAL for a bad slot.  That call went away
when the swap cache checks moved into __swap_cache_add_check(), and the
raw accessor there does not do the same type test.

Require a shadow entry instead.  A slot dropped from the swap cache always
gets one, empty if there is no workingset value.  The type test runs first,
so the count is only read off a countable entry, and the check as a whole
runs before the folio allocation in __swap_cache_alloc().

The large folio walk in the same function does the same raw reads.  A bad
slot cannot be in its range, but the range is not pinned, so a slot freed
and then taken by hibernation still trips the countable assertion there.
Give the walk the same shadow test, the folio check folds into it.

Reproduced with a badpages list written into the swap header by hand.
Readahead took over four bad slots before this patch and none after.  It
needs a crafted header, so a normal setup will not hit it.
