After further digging it's found that the following race condition exists in the original implementation,
CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- deferred_split_scan() split_huge_page(page) /* page isn't compound head */ split_huge_page_to_list(page, NULL) __split_huge_page(page, ) ClearPageCompound(head) /* unlock all subpages except page (not head) */ add_to_swap(head) /* not THP */ get_swap_page(head) add_to_swap_cache(head, ) SetPageSwapCache(head) if PageSwapCache(head) split_swap_cluster(/* swap entry of head */) /* Deref sis->cluster_info: NULL accessing! */
So, in split_huge_page_to_list(), PageSwapCache() is called for the already split and unlocked "head", which may be added to swap cache in another CPU. So split_swap_cluster() may be called wrongly.
To fix the race, the call to split_swap_cluster() is moved to __split_huge_page() before all subpages are unlocked. So that the PageSwapCache() is stable.
