Subject: [RFC PATCH] swapfile: fix soft lockup in scan_swap_map_slots
Date:   Fri, 18 Nov 2022 21:38:50 +0800

A soft lockup occur in scan free swap slot by constructing
huge memory pressure.
The test scenario is: 64 CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28
zram devices, the disksize of each zram device is 50MB.

LATENCY_LIMIT is used to prevent soft lockup in function
scan_swap_map_slots, but the real loop number would more
than LATENCY_LIMIT because of "goto checks and goto scan"
repeatly without decrease of latency limit.

In order to fix it, move decrease latency_ration code in advance.

There is also a suspicious place that will cause soft lockup in
function get_swap_pages, in this function, the "goto start_over"
may result in continuous scanning of swap partition, if there is
no cond_sched in scan_swap_map_slots, it would cause soft lockup
(I am not sure about this).
