The swap-cache address space (swapper_spaces), however, doesn't populate its ->host (struct inode) pointer, thus leading to the crashes in the corner-case aforementioned. commit 19343b5bdd16 ended up breaking the assignment of __entry->name and __entry->ino for the wait_on_page_writeback tracepoint -- both dependent on mapping->host carrying a pointer to a valid inode. The assignment of __entry->name was fixed by commit 68f23b89067f ("memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears"), and this commit fixes the remaining case, for __entry->ino.
