mm/migrate: set swap entry values of THP tail pages properly.
stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.312 commit 9e92cefdaa7537515dc0ff6cc73d46fa31b062fc category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IA82S5 CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=9e92cefdaa7537515dc0ff6cc73d46fa31b062fc -------------------------------- The tail pages in a THP can have swap entry information stored in their private field. When migrating to a new page, all tail pages of the new page need to update ->private to avoid future data corruption. This fix is stable-only, since after commit 07e09c48 ("mm/huge_memory: work on folio->swap instead of page->private when splitting folio"), subpages of a swapcached THP no longer requires the maintenance. Adding THPs to the swapcache was introduced in commit 38d8b4e6 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out"), where each subpage of a THP added to the swapcache had its own swapcache entry and required the ->private field to point to the correct swapcache entry. Later, when THP migration functionality was implemented in commit 616b8371 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path"), it initially did not handle the subpages of swapcached THPs, failing to update their ->private fields or replace the subpage pointers in the swapcache. Subsequently, commit e71769ae ("mm: enable thp migration for shmem thp") addressed the swapcache update aspect. This patch fixes the update of subpage ->private fields.
