While debugging something, I added a dump_page() into do_swap_page(),
and I got the splat from below.
The issue happens when dereferencing mapping->host in __dump_page():

...
else if (mapping) {
	pr_warn("%ps ", mapping->a_ops);
	if (mapping->host->i_dentry.first) {
		struct dentry *dentry;
		dentry = container_of(mapping->host->i_dentry.first, struct dentry, d_u.d_alias);
		pr_warn("name:\"%pd\" ", dentry);
	}
}
...

Swap address space does not contain an inode information, and so mapping->host
equals NULL.

Although the dump_page() call was added artificially into do_swap_page(),
I am not sure if we can hit this from any other path, so it looks worth
fixing it.
We can easily do that by cheking mapping->host first.

Splat:

It is certainly worth fixing. We cannot assume anything about the
calling context for __dump_page

The splat is still surprising to me because I thought that all file
backed mappings have a host. Swap file/partition certainly has a
mapping but swapcache mapping is special because the underlying swap
storage is hidden in the swap_info_struct. I am wondering whether we
should do that special casing for PageSwapCache in __dump_page rather
than hid the mapping details instead

But I am not really sure this will work for all swap cases.

Thanks for reporting this Oscar!

This looks like a much nicer fix, indeed.
I gave it a spin and it works.

Since the mapping is set during the swapon, I would assume that this should
always work for swap.
Although I am not sure if once you start playing with e.g zswap the picture can
change.

Let us wait for Hugh and Jan.

Thanks Michal

Sorry, I don't agree that Michal's more sophisticated patch is nicer:
the appropriate patch was your original, just checking for NULL.

Though, would I be too snarky to suggest that your patch description
would be better at 2 lines than 90?  Swap mapping->host is NULL,
so of course __dump_page() needs to be careful about that.

I was a little disturbed to see __dump_page() now getting into dentries,
but admit that it can sometimes be very helpful to see the name of the
file involved; so if that is not in danger of breaking anything, okay.

It is very often useful to see if a page is PageSwapCache (typically
because that should account for 1 of its refcount); I cannot think of
a time when it's been useful to know the name of the underlying swap
device (if that's indeed what f_mapping leads to: it's new to me).
And if you need swp_type and swp_offset, they're in the raw output.

The cleverer __dump_page() tries to get, the more likely that it will
itself crash just when you need it most. Please just keep it simple.

Thanks,
Hugh

If we go this way then we should swap the order and print the mapping
before we alter it.

Thanks for testing!

Yes, I really cannot tell this is really safe. Maybe we want to do the
check for host anyway. Just to be sure.

OK, fair enough. If we ever have anybody suggesting to follow the swap
lead then we can add it. I do not have a good use case for that right
now. Let's go with Oscar's original patch. Thanks!
