Subject[PATCH v4 0/3] mm: Fix bug affecting swapping in MTE tagged pages
From
This patch series reworks the logic that handles swapping in page
metadata to fix a reported bug [1] where metadata can sometimes not
be swapped in correctly after commit c145e0b47c77 ("mm: streamline COW
logic in do_swap_page()").

- Patch 1 fixes the bug itself, but still requires architectures
to restore metadata in both arch_swap_restore() and set_pte_at().

- Patch 2 makes it so that architectures only need to restore metadata
in arch_swap_restore().

- Patch 3 changes arm64 to remove support for restoring metadata
in set_pte_at().

v4:
- Rebased onto v6.4-rc3
- Reverted change to arch/arm64/mm/mteswap.c; this change was not
valid because swapcache pages can have arch_swap_restore() called
on them multiple times

v3:
- Added patch to call arch_swap_restore() from unuse_pte()
- Rebased onto arm64/for-next/fixes

v2:
- Call arch_swap_restore() directly instead of via arch_do_swap_page()

Peter Collingbourne (3):
mm: Call arch_swap_restore() from do_swap_page()
mm: Call arch_swap_restore() from unuse_pte()
arm64: mte: Simplify swap tag restoration logic
