From ab1a3c6d9410ea4eef37be8cb804785b07113adb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerome Marchand Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:08:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] swap: redirty page if page write fails on swap file commit 2d30d31ea3c5be426ce25607b9bd1835acb85e0a upstream. Since commit 62c230bc1790 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage() calls direct_IO on swap files. However, in that case the page isn't redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption when the page is eventually swapped back in. This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails. It fixes a memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS.
