Note that -EAGAIN was previously used by copy_present_page() for early cow
use. Here later although we check entry.val first:
if (entry.val) {
if (add_swap_count_continuation(entry, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
entry.val = 0;
} else if (ret) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(ret != -EAGAIN);
prealloc = page_copy_prealloc(src_mm, src_vma, addr);
if (!prealloc)
return -ENOMEM;
/* We've captured and resolved the error. Reset, try again. */
ret = 0;
}
We didn't reset "ret" in entry.val case (maybe we should?). Then in the next
round of "goto again" if "ret" is unluckily untouched, it could reach the 2nd
if check, and I think it could cause an unexpected page_copy_prealloc().
