Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

SWP_FS is used to make swap_{read,write}page() go through the
filesystem, and it's only used for swap files over NFS. So, !SWP_FS
means non NFS for now, it could be either file backed or device backed.
Something similar goes with legacy SWP_FILE.
So in order to achieve the goal of the original patch, SWP_BLKDEV should
be used instead.
FS corruption can be observed with SSD device + XFS + fragmented
swapfile due to CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y.
I reproduced the issue with the following details:
Environment:
QEMU + upstream kernel + buildroot + NVMe (2 GB)
Kernel config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y
CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y
Some reproducible steps:
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/nvme0n1
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount /dev/nvme0n1 /tmp/mnt
bs="32k"
sz="1024m" # doesn't matter too much, I also tried 16m
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -F -S 0 -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fdatasync" /tmp/mnt/sw
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -R -b $bs 0 $sz" -c "fsync" /tmp/mnt/sw
mkswap /tmp/mnt/sw
swapon /tmp/mnt/sw
stress --vm 2 --vm-bytes 600M # doesn't matter too much as well
Symptoms:
- FS corruption (e.g. checksum failure)
- memory corruption at: 0xd2808010
- segfault
Fixes: f0eea189 ("mm, THP, swap: Don't allocate huge cluster for file backed swap device")
Fixes: 38d8b4e6 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out")
