    mm: do not access page->mapping directly on page_endio · dd8416c4
    Minchan Kim authored
    With rw_page, page_endio is used for completing IO on a page and it
    propagates write error to the address space if the IO fails.  The
    problem is it accesses page->mapping directly which might be okay for
    file-backed pages but it shouldn't for anonymous page.  Otherwise, it
    can corrupt one of field from anon_vma under us and system goes panic
    randomly.
    
    swap_writepage
      bdev_writepage
        ops->rw_page
    
    I encountered the BUG during developing new zram feature and it was
    really hard to figure it out because it made random crash, somtime
    mmap_sem lockdep, sometime other places where places never related to
    zram/zsmalloc, and not reproducible with some configuration.
    
    When I consider how that bug is subtle and people do fast-swap test with
    brd, it's worth to add stable mark, I think.

     ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()")
