There are two flags used to synchronize allocation and scanning with swapoff: SWP_WRITEOK and SWP_SCANNING. SWP_WRITEOK: Swapoff will first unset this flag, at this point any further swap allocation or scanning on this device should just abort so no more new entries will be referencing this device. Swapoff will then unuse all existing swap entries. SWP_SCANNING: This flag is set when device is being scanned. Swapoff will wait for all scanner to stop before the final release of the swap device structures to avoid UAF. Note this flag is the highest used bit of si->flags so it could be added up arithmetically, if there are multiple scanner. commit |

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 reStructuredText 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.
