When in the commit 2799e77529c2a, we're using the percpu_ref to
serialize
against concurrent swapoff, i.e. there's percpu_ref inside
get_swap_device() instead of rcu_read_lock(). Please see commit
63d8620ecf93 ("mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against
concurrent swapoff") for detail.
Oh, so this is a backport problem.  2799e77529c2 was backported
without
its prerequisite 63d8620ecf93.  Greg, probably best to just drop
Yes, they're posted as a patch set:

m

2799e77529c2 from all stable trees; the race described is not very
important (swapoff vs reading a page back from that swap device).
.
The swapoff races with reading a page back from that swap device
should
be
really uncommon as most users only do swapoff when the system is
going to
shutdown.

Sorry for the trouble!

Do you suggest reverting "mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with
swapoff"
as well?
This patch also rely on its prerequisite 63d8620ecf93. I think we should
either revert any commit in this series or just backport the entire
series.
Then why not just pick up 2 more patches instead of dropping 2 patches.
Greg, could you please make sure the whole series from [1] gets pulled?
Because none of these patches should have been backported in the first
place.  It's just not worth the destabilisation.
What about the rest then?

Those look to be fixes, these ones too.
