Subject: [PATCH 5.4 221/388] mm/swapfile: fix data races in try_to_unuse()

From: Qian Cai <cai@....pw>

[ Upstream commit 218209487c3da2f6d861b236c11226b6eca7b7b7 ]

si->inuse_pages could be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

 write to 0xffff98b00ebd04dc of 4 bytes by task 82262 on cpu 92:
  swap_range_free+0xbe/0x230
  swap_range_free at mm/swapfile.c:719

  do_signal+0x37/0x5d0
  prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x1b7/0x2c0
  ret_from_intr+0x32/0x42

 read to 0xffff98b00ebd04dc of 4 bytes by task 82499 on cpu 46:
  try_to_unuse+0x86b/0xc80
  try_to_unuse at mm/swapfile.c:2185
  __x64_sys_swapoff+0x372/0xd40
  do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb05
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

The plain reads in try_to_unuse() are outside si->lock critical section
which result in data races that could be dangerous to be used in a loop.
Fix them by adding READ_ONCE().
