Subject: [PATCH] mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when
testing page information later.  But after using cluster lock, the
cluster lock (or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during
freeing the swap entry.  So before acquiring the page lock, the page
swap count may be changed in another thread.  If the page swap count
is not 0, we should not delete the page from the swap cache.  This is
fixed via checking page swap count again after acquiring the page
lock.
