From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com Subject: swap_readpage(): avoid blk_wake_io_task() if !synchronous
swap_readpage() sets waiter = bio->bi_private even if synchronous = F, this means that the caller can get the spurious wakeup after return. This can be fatal if blk_wake_io_task() does set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after the caller does set_special_state(), in the worst case the kernel can crash in do_task_dead().
