commit fb993fa1a2f669215fa03a09eed7848f2663e336 upstream.
If a frontswap dup-store failed, it should invalidate the expired page
in the backend, or it could trigger some data corruption issue.
Such as:
1. use zswap as the frontswap backend with writeback feature
2. store a swap page(version_1) to entry A, success
3. dup-store a newer page(version_2) to the same entry A, fail
4. use __swap_writepage() write version_2 page to swapfile, success
5. zswap do shrink, writeback version_1 page to swapfile
6. version_2 page is overwrited by version_1, data corrupt.
This patch fixes this issue by invalidating expired data immediately
when meet a dup-store failure.

The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the
bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is
not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The
incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map
is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size
may cause the problem.
For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice
as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is
smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
atomic about frontswap's first appearance. IOW, frontswap is not present
and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
working on frontswap.
So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

After allowing tmem backends to build/run as modules, frontswap_enabled
always true if defined CONFIG_FRONTSWAP. But frontswap_test() depends on
whether backend is registered, mv it into frontswap.c using fronstswap_ops
to make the decision.
frontswap_set/clear are not used outside frontswap, so don't export them.

With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to
be built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot
parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends
to register to frontswap even after swapon was run. Before a backend
registers all calls to init are recorded and the creation of tmem_pools
delayed until a backend registers or until a frontswap store is
attempted.

Tmem, as originally specified, assumes that "get" operations
performed on persistent pools never flush the page of data out
of tmem on a successful get, waiting instead for a flush
operation. This is intended to mimic the model of a swap
disk, where a disk read is non-destructive. Unlike a
disk, however, freeing up the RAM can be valuable. Over
the years that frontswap was in the review process, several
reviewers (and notably Hugh Dickins in 2010) pointed out that
this would result, at least temporarily, in two copies of the
data in RAM: one (compressed for zcache) copy in tmem,
and one copy in the swap cache. We wondered if this could
be done differently, at least optionally.
This patch allows tmem backends to instruct the frontswap
code that this backend performs exclusive gets. Zcache2
already contains hooks to support this feature. Other
backends are completely unaffected unless/until they are
updated to support this feature.
While it is not clear that exclusive gets are a performance
win on all workloads at all times, this small patch allows for
experimentation by backends.
P.S. Let's not quibble about the naming of "get" vs "read" vs
"load" etc. The naming is currently horribly inconsistent between
cleancache and frontswap and existing tmem backends, so will need
to be straightened out as a separate patch. "Get" is used
by the tmem architecture spec, existing backends, and
all documentation and presentation material so I am
using it in this patch.

The check whether frontswap is enabled or not is done in the API functions in
the frontswap header, before they are passed to the internal
double-underscored frontswap functions.
Remove the check from __frontswap_init for consistency.
