When a folio is swapped in, the protection size of the corresponding zswap
LRU is incremented, so that the zswap shrinker is more conservative with
its reclaiming action. This field is embedded within the struct lruvec,
so updating it requires looking up the folio's memcg and lruvec. However,
currently this lookup can happen after the folio is unlocked, for instance
if a new folio is allocated, and swap_read_folio() unlocks the folio
before returning. In this scenario, there is no stability guarantee for
the binding between a folio and its memcg and lruvec:
* A folio's memcg and lruvec can be freed between the lookup and the
update, leading to a UAF.
* Folio migration can clear the now-unlocked folio's memcg_data, which
directs the zswap LRU protection size update towards the root memcg
instead of the original memcg. This was recently picked up by the
syzbot thanks to a warning in the inlined folio_lruvec() call.
Move the zswap LRU protection range update above the swap_read_folio()
call, and only when a new page is allocated, to prevent this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
