In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm, swap: restore swap_space attr aviod kernel panic
commit 8b47299a411a ("mm, swap: mark swap address space ro and add context
debug check") made the swap address space read-only. It may lead to
kernel panic if arch_prepare_to_swap returns a failure under heavy memory
pressure as follows,

Restore swap address space as not ro to avoid the panic.
