Removing the marker during truncate then subtracts from "swapped" again. This can underflow the counters or make swapped reach zero while other pages remain swapped out, causing swapoff to loop without finding them. When installing the marker, subtract only from "swapped" and let shmem_recalc_inode() reduce "alloced" and release the block charge. Make shmem_free_swap() report successful removal separately from the number of swap pages freed, so removing a swapin-error marker does not subtract from "swapped" again. It's a bit confusing, but replacing a swapped out page by a swapin-error marker in shmem_set_folio_swapin_error() behaves as follows: Initially: alloced=1, swapped=1, nrpages=0 Calling shmem_recalc_inode(inode, 0, -1) -> swapped = 0 -> freed = 1 - 0 - 0 = 1 -> alloced -= freed -> alloced=0, swapped=0, block charge released Fixes: 6cec2b95dadf ("mm/shmem: fix infinite loop when swap in shmem error at swapoff time") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Gregory Price (Meta) Reviewed-by: Baolin Wang Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261029-fixes_shmem-v4-14-392fc715d8f6@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) --- mm/shmem.c | 31 ++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/shmem.c b/mm/shmem.c index eb2e6e50630c0..897f19ed0fe3d 100644 --- a/mm/shmem.c +++ b/mm/shmem.c @@ -1177,12 +1177,11 @@ static void shmem_delete_from_page_cache(struct folio *folio, void *radswap) } /* - * Remove swap entry from page cache, free the swap and its page cache.
