When in the commit 2799e77529c2a, we're using the percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff, i.e. there's percpu_ref inside get_swap_device() instead of rcu_read_lock(). Please see commit 63d8620ecf93 ("mm/swapfile: use percpu_ref to serialize against concurrent swapoff") for detail.
Oh, so this is a backport problem. 2799e77529c2 was backported without its prerequisite 63d8620ecf93. Greg, probably best to just drop
Yes, they're posted as a patch set:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210426123316.806267-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com
2799e77529c2 from all stable trees; the race described is not very important (swapoff vs reading a page back from that swap device). .
The swapoff races with reading a page back from that swap device should be really uncommon as most users only do swapoff when the system is going to shutdown.
Sorry for the trouble!

Do you suggest reverting "mm/shmem: fix shmem_swapin() race with swapoff" as well?
This patch also rely on its prerequisite 63d8620ecf93. I think we should either revert any commit in this series or just backport the entire series.
Many thanks.
