[PATCH] mm: zswap: fix double invalidate with exclusive loads

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Wed Jun 21 2023 - 05:31:58 EST


If exclusive loads are enabled for zswap, we invalidate the entry before
returning from zswap_frontswap_load(), after dropping the local
reference. However, the tree lock is dropped during decompression after
the local reference is acquired, so the entry could be invalidated
before we drop the local ref. If this happens, the entry is freed once
we drop the local ref, and zswap_invalidate_entry() tries to invalidate
an already freed entry.

Fix this by:
(a) Making sure zswap_invalidate_entry() is always called with a local
ref held, to avoid being called on a freed entry.
(b) Making sure zswap_invalidate_entry() only drops the ref if the entry
was actually on the rbtree. Otherwise, another invalidation could
have already happened, and the initial ref is already dropped.

With these changes, there is no need to check that there is no need to
make sure the entry still exists in the tree in zswap_reclaim_entry()
before invalidating it, as zswap_reclaim_entry() will make this check
internally.
