Subject: mm,thp: recheck each page before collapsing file THP
In collapse_file(), for !is_shmem case, current check cannot guarantee the
locked page is up-to-date. Specifically, xas_unlock_irq() should not be
called before lock_page() and get_page(); and it is necessary to recheck
PageUptodate() after locking the page.
With this bug and CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y, madvise(HUGE)'ed .text
may contain corrupted data. This is because khugepaged mistakenly
collapses some not up-to-date sub pages into a huge page, and assumes the
huge page is up-to-date. This will NOT corrupt data in the disk, because
the page is read-only and never written back. Fix this by properly
checking PageUptodate() after locking the page. This check replaces
"VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageUptodate(page), page);".
Also, move PageDirty() check after locking the page. Current khugepaged
should not try to collapse dirty file THP, because it is limited to
read-only .text. The only case we hit a dirty page here is when the page
hasn't been written since write. Bail out and retry when this happens.
syzbot reported bug on previous version of this patch.
