Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] mm/shmem, swap: avoid false positive swap cache lookup
From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>
If the shmem read request's index points to the middle of a large swap
entry, shmem swap in does the swap cache lookup use the large swap entry's
starting value (the first sub swap entry of this large entry). This will
lead to false positive lookup result if only the first few swap entries
are cached, but the requested swap entry pointed by index is uncached.
Currently shmem will do a large entry split then retry the swapin from
beginning, which is a waste of CPU and fragile. Handle this correctly.
Also add some sanity checks to help understand the code and ensure things
won't go wrong.
