Subject: [PATCH v2 01/12] mm, swap: protect si->swap_file properly and use as a mount indicator
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:28:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128-swap-table-p3-v2-1-fe0b67ef0215@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128-swap-table-p3-v2-0-fe0b67ef0215@tencent.com>

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

/proc/swaps uses si->swap_map as the indicator to check if the swap
device is mounted. swap_map will be removed soon, so change it to use
si->swap_file instead because:

- si->swap_file is exactly the only dynamic content that /proc/swaps is
  interested in. Previously, it was checking si->swap_map just to ensure
  si->swap_file is available. si->swap_map is set under mutex
  protection, and after si->swap_file is set, so having si->swap_map set
  guarantees si->swap_file is set.

- Checking si->flags doesn't work here. SWP_WRITEOK is cleared during
  swapoff, but /proc/swaps is supposed to show the device under swapoff
  too to report the swapoff progress. And SWP_USED is set even if the
  device hasn't been properly set up.

We can have another flag, but the easier way is to just check
si->swap_file directly. So protect si->swap_file setting with mutext,
and set si->swap_file only when the swap device is truly enabled.

/proc/swaps only interested in si->swap_file and a few static data
reading. Only si->swap_file needs protection. Reading other static
fields is always fine.
