Jann Horn demonstrated how userfaultfd ioctl UFFDIO_COPY into a private shmem mapping can add valid PTEs to page table collapse_pte_mapped_thp() thought it had emptied: page lock on the huge page is enough to protect against WP faults (which find the PTE has been cleared), but not enough to protect against userfaultfd. "BUG: Bad rss-counter state" followed. retract_page_tables() protects against this by checking !vma->anon_vma; but we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to be able to work on private shmem mappings, even those with an anon_vma prepared for another part of the mapping; and we know that MADV_COLLAPSE needs to work on shared shmem mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(). Whether it needs to work on private shmem mappings which are userfaultfd_armed(), I'm not so sure: but assume that it does. Just for this case, take the pmd_lock() two steps earlier: not because it gives any protection against this case itself, but because ptlock nests inside it, and it's the dropping of ptlock which let the bug in. In other cases, continue to minimize the pmd_lock() hold time.
