Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 13:29:35 -0700 From: Yang Shi <shy828301@...il.com> To: hughd@...gle.com, ying.huang@...el.com, linmiaohe@...wei.com, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: shy828301@...il.com, linux-mm@...ck.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Revert "mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff" Due to the change about how block layer detects congestion the justification of commit 8fd2e0b505d1 ("mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or not") doesn't stand anymore, so the commit could be just reverted in order to solve the race reported by commit 2efa33fc7f6e ("mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff"), so the fix commit could be just reverted as well.
