I added !has_cache to return 0 in racy case.

yes.

I can't catch what you mean.
I think swapcache_prepare() returns 0 in racy case and no add_to_swap_cache() happens.
wrong ?

What you reccomend is code like this ?
==
ret = swapcache_prapare(entry);
if (ret == -ENOENT)
break; /* unused swap entry */
if (ret == -EBUSY)
continue; /* to call find_get_page() again */
==
-Kame
