mm/swapfile: unuse_pte can map random data if swap read fails
Patch series "A few fixup patches for mm", v4. This series contains a few patches to avoid mapping random data if swap read fails and fix lost swap bits in unuse_pte. Also we free hwpoison and swapin error entry in madvise_free_pte_range and so on. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 5): There is a bug in unuse_pte(): when swap page happens to be unreadable, page filled with random data is mapped into user address space. In case of error, a special swap entry indicating swap read fails is set to the page table. So the swapcache page can be freed and the user won't end up with a permanently mounted swap because a sector is bad. And if the page is accessed later, the user process will be killed so that corrupted data is never consumed. On the other hand, if the page is never accessed, the user won't even notice it.
