mm: streamline COW logic in do_swap_page()
Currently we have a different COW logic when: * triggering a read-fault to swapin first and then trigger a write-fault -> do_swap_page() + do_wp_page() * triggering a write-fault to swapin -> do_swap_page() + do_wp_page() only if we fail reuse in do_swap_page() The COW logic in do_swap_page() is different than our reuse logic in do_wp_page(). The COW logic in do_wp_page() -- page_count() == 1 -- makes currently sure that we certainly don't have a remaining reference, e.g., via GUP, on the target page we want to reuse: if there is any unexpected reference, we have to copy to avoid information leaks. As do_swap_page() behaves differently, in environments with swap enabled we can currently have an unintended information leak from the parent to the child, similar as known from CVE-2020-29374: 1. Parent writes to anonymous page -> Page is mapped writable and modified 2. Page is swapped out -> Page is unmapped and replaced by swap entry 3. fork() -> Swap entries are copied to child 4. Child pins page R/O -> Page is mapped R/O into child 5. Child unmaps page -> Child still holds GUP reference 6. Parent writes to page -> Page is reused in do_swap_page() -> Child can observe changes Exchanging 2. and 3. should have the same effect. Let's apply the same COW logic as in do_wp_page(), conditionally trying to remove the page from the swapcache after freeing the swap entry, however, before actually mapping our page. We can change the order now that we use try_to_free_swap(), which doesn't care about the mapcount, instead of reuse_swap_page(). To handle references from the LRU pagevecs, conditionally drain the local LRU pagevecs when required, however, don't consider the page_count() when deciding whether to drain to keep it simple for now.
