4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <[email protected]> commit 9956edf37e65e93fbb76dcff1236dff2323d306a upstream. If shmem_alloc_page() does not set PageLocked and PageSwapBacked, then shmem_replace_page() needs to do so for itself. Without this, it puts newpage on the wrong lru, re-unlocks the unlocked newpage, and system descends into "Bad page" reports and freeze; or if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, it hits an earlier VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked), depending on config. But shmem_replace_page() is not a common path: it's only called when swapin (or swapoff) finds the page was already read into an unsuitable zone: usually all zones are suitable, but gem objects for a few drm devices (gma500, omapdrm, crestline, broadwater) require zone DMA32 if there's more than 4GB of ram.
