Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: fix potential memory corruption on duplicate store
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2023 19:22:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230922172211.1704917-1-cerasuolodomenico@gmail.com> (raw)

While stress-testing zswap a memory corruption was happening when writing
back pages. __frontswap_store used to check for duplicate entries before
attempting to store a page in zswap, this was because if the store fails
the old entry isn't removed from the tree. This change removes duplicate
entries in zswap_store before the actual attempt.

Based on commit ce9ecca0238b ("Linux 6.6-rc2")

Fixes: 42c06a0e8ebe ("mm: kill frontswap")
