[PATCH] do_swap_page() can map random data if swap read fails

Kirill Korotaev authored 20 years ago and Linus Torvalds committed 20 years ago

There is a bug in do_swap_page(): when swap page happens to be unreadable,
page filled with random data is mapped into user address space.  The fix is
to check for PageUptodate and send SIGBUS in case of error.
