mm/zswap: don't return LRU_SKIP if we have dropped lru lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
LRU_SKIP can only be returned if we don't ever dropped lru lock, or we
need to return LRU_RETRY to restart from the head of lru list.

Otherwise, the iteration might continue from a cursor position that was
freed while the locks were dropped.

Actually we may need to introduce another LRU_STOP to really terminate the
ongoing shrinking scan process, when we encounter a warm page already in
the swap cache.  The current list_lru implementation doesn't have this
function to early break from __list_lru_walk_one.
