swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its resources
after that. A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info while its previous
resources are not cleared completely.
These late freed resources are:
- p->percpu_cluster
- swap_cgroup_ctrl[type]
- block_device setting
- inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE
This patch clear SWP_USED flag after all its resources freed, so that swapon
can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.
This patch is just for a rare scenario, aim to correct of code.
