Subject: thp: use is_zero_pfn() only after pte_present() check
From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 47aee4d8e314384807e98b67ade07f6da476aa75 upstream.
Use is_zero_pfn() on pteval only after pte_present() check on pteval
(It might be better idea to introduce is_zero_pte() which checks
pte_present() first).
Otherwise when working on a swap or migration entry and if pte_pfn's
result is equal to zero_pfn by chance, we lose user's data in
__collapse_huge_page_copy(). So if you're unlucky, the application
segfaults and finally you could see below message on exit:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88007f099300 idx:2 val:3
