When I was investigating the swap code, I found the below possible race
window:

CPU 1                                           CPU 2
-----                                           -----
shmem_swapin
  swap_cluster_readahead
    if (likely(si->flags & (SWP_BLKDEV | SWP_FS_OPS))) {
                                                swapoff
                                                  si->flags &= ~SWP_VALID;
                                                  ..
                                                  synchronize_rcu();
                                                  ..
                                                  si->swap_file = NULL;
    struct inode *inode = si->swap_file->f_mapping->host;[oops!]

Close this race window by using get/put_swap_device() to guard against
concurrent swapoff.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

You have removed these code in the previous patches of the series.  And
they are not relevant in this patch.

No.  This isn't the commit that introduces the race condition.  Please
recheck your git blame result.

Yes, I should change these. Thanks.

I think this is really hard to find exact commit. I used git blame and found
this race should be existed when this is introduced. Any suggestion ?

I think the commit that introduces the race condition is commit
8fd2e0b505d1 ("mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or
not")

Thanks.
The commit log only describes one race condition. And for that one, this should be correct
Fixes tag. But there are still many other race conditions inside swap_cluster_readahead,
such as swap_readpage() called from swap_cluster_readahead. This tag could not cover the
all race windows.

No. swap_readpage() in swap_cluster_readahead() is OK.  Because
__read_swap_cache_async() is called before that, so the swap entry will
be marked with SWAP_HAS_CACHE, and page will be locked.
