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

CPU 1                                   	CPU 2
-----                                   	-----
do_swap_page
  swap_readpage(skip swap cache case)
    if (data_race(sis->flags & SWP_FS_OPS)) {
                                        	swapoff
					  	  p->flags = &= ~SWP_VALID;
					  	  ..
					  	  synchronize_rcu();
					  	  ..
					  	  p->swap_file = NULL;
    struct file *swap_file = sis->swap_file;
    struct address_space *mapping = swap_file->f_mapping;[oops!]

Note that for the pages that are swapped in through swap cache, this isn't
an issue. Because the page is locked, and the swap entry will be marked
with SWAP_HAS_CACHE, so swapoff() can not proceed until the page has been
unlocked.

Using current get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for
swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really long
time. And this race may not be really pernicious because swapoff is usually
done when system shutdown only. To reduce the performance overhead on the
hot-path as much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close
this race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying).

This is OK for swap cache cases.  So

  if (data_race(si->flags & SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO))

should be shown here.

I still suggest to squash PATCH 1-3, at least PATCH 1-2.  That will
change the relevant code together and make it easier to review.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying

Will squash PATCH 1-2. Thanks.
