Subject[PATCH 5.9 54/75] mm/swapfile: do not sleep with a spin lock held
Date
From: Qian Cai <qcai@redhat.com>

commit b11a76b37a5aa7b07c3e3eeeaae20b25475bddd3 upstream.

We can't call kvfree() with a spin lock held, so defer it. Fixes a
might_sleep() runtime warning.

Fixes: 873d7bcfd066 ("mm/swapfile.c: use kvzalloc for swap_info_struct allocation")
