To fix, reset the check_shmem_swap flag to false. There's also related bug which sets mss->swap to shmem_swapped, which in the context of smaps_rollup overwrites any value accumulated from previous vma's. Fix that as well. Note that the report suggests a regression between 4.17.19 and 4.19-rc7, which makes the 4.19 series ending with commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
