Bring collapse_and_free_pmd() back into collapse_pte_mapped_thp().
It does need mmap_read_lock(), but it does not need mmap_write_lock(),
nor vma_start_write() nor i_mmap lock nor anon_vma lock.  All racing
paths are relying on pte_offset_map_lock() and pmd_lock(), so use those.

We can still have a racing userfaultfd operation at the "/* step 4:
remove page table */" point that installs a new PTE before the page
table is removed.

To reproduce, patch a delay into the kernel like this:


diff --git a/mm/khugepaged.c b/mm/khugepaged.c

         /* Huge page lock is still held, so page table must remain empty */
         pml = pmd_lock(mm, pmd);


And then run the attached reproducer against mm/mm-everything. You
should get this in dmesg:

[  206.578096] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:000000000942ebea
type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1

Thanks a lot, Jann. I haven't thought about it at all yet; and just
tried to reproduce, but haven't yet got the "BUG: Bad rss-counter":
just see "Invalid argument" on the UFFDIO_COPY ioctl.
Will investigate tomorrow.

Maybe you're missing a fixup:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230810192128.1855570-1-axelrasmussen@xxxxxxxxxx

When the src address is not page aligned, UFFDIO_COPY in mm-unstable would erroneously fail.
