tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp() VM_BUG_ON
commit 215c02bc33bbd5ff4d7379a909462d11f0103218 upstream. Fuzzing with trinity hit the "impossible" VM_BUG_ON(error) (which Fedora has converted to WARNING) in shmem_getpage_gfp(): WARNING: at mm/shmem.c:1151 shmem_getpage_gfp+0xa5c/0xa70() Pid: 29795, comm: trinity-child4 Not tainted 3.7.0-rc2+ #49 Call Trace: warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 shmem_getpage_gfp+0xa5c/0xa70 shmem_fault+0x4f/0xa0 __do_fault+0x71/0x5c0 handle_pte_fault+0x97/0xae0 handle_mm_fault+0x289/0x350 __do_page_fault+0x18e/0x530 do_page_fault+0x2b/0x50 page_fault+0x28/0x30 tracesys+0xe1/0xe6 Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache() only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation. What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(), which takes care of the memcg uncharge.
