Subject: [PATCH] mm/powerpc: Fix _PAGE_PTE breaking swapoff
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:35:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452506750-2355-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
When converting a swp_entry_t to pte, we need to add _PAGE_PTE,
because we later compare the pte with linux page table entries to
find a matching pte. We do set _PAGE_PTE on pte entries on linux page
table even if it is a swap entry. So add them when converting
swp_entry_t to pte_t
The stack trace can be anywhere below try_to_unuse() in mm/swapfile.c,
since swapoff is circling around and around that function, reading from
each used swap block into a page, then trying to find where that page
belongs, looking at every non-file pte of every mm that ever swapped.
