[PATCH 0/5] close various race windows for swap

[Miaohe Lin]

Hi all,
When I was investigating the swap code, I found some possible race
windows. This series aims to fix all these races. But using current
get/put_swap_device() to guard against concurrent swapoff for
swap_readpage() looks terrible because swap_readpage() may take really
long time. And to reduce the performance overhead on the hot-path as
much as possible, it appears we can use the percpu_ref to close this
race window(as suggested by Huang, Ying). The patch 1 adds percpu_ref
support for swap and the rest of the patches use this to close various
race windows. More details can be found in the respective changelogs.
Thanks!
