Currently, compaction would get the lru_lock and then do page isolation
which works fine with pgdat->lru_lock, since any page isoltion would
compete for the lru_lock. If we want to change to memcg lru_lock, we
have to isolate the page before getting lru_lock, thus isoltion would
block page's memcg change which relay on page isoltion too. Then we
could safely use per memcg lru_lock later.
The new page isolation use previous introduced TestClearPageLRU() +
pgdat lru locking which will be changed to memcg lru lock later.
Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> fixed following bugs in this patch's
early version:
Fix lots of crashes under compaction load: isolate_migratepages_block()
must clean up appropriately when rejecting a page, setting PageLRU again
if it had been cleared; and a put_page() after get_page_unless_zero()
cannot safely be done while holding locked_lruvec - it may turn out to
be the final put_page(), which will take an lruvec lock when PageLRU.
And move __isolate_lru_page_prepare back after get_page_unless_zero to
make trylock_page() safe:
trylock_page() is not safe to use at this time: its setting PG_locked
can race with the page being freed or allocated ("Bad page"), and can
also erase flags being set by one of those "sole owners" of a freshly
allocated page who use non-atomic __SetPageFlag().

commit caf6912f3f4af7232340d500a4a2008f81b93f14 upstream.
We're not factoring in the start of the file for where to write and
read the swapfile, which leads to very unfortunate side effects of
writing where we should not be...
Fixes: dd6bd0d9c7db ("swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()")
