Huang Ying cb9f753a37 mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache
Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4 ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap
device will be freed.  So page_mapping() users which may touch the
address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space
from being freed during accessing.

The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture
specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous
pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function.  But in some cases
there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff,
for example,

  CPU1					CPU2
  __get_user_pages()			swapoff()
    flush_dcache_page()
      mapping = page_mapping()
        ...				  exit_swap_address_space()
        ...				    kvfree(spaces)
        mapping_mapped(mapping)

The address space may be accessed after being freed.

But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care
about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be
used.  The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures
follows this too.  They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and
whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the
dcache immediately.  And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap)
to find all user space mappings.  While mapping_mapped() and
mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all.

So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping()
is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL
otherwise.  All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are
replaced with page_mapping_file().
