Subject: mm/MADV_COLLAPSE: set EAGAIN on unexpected page refcount
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 17:57:37 -0800
During collapse, in a few places we check to see if a given small page has
any unaccounted references. If the refcount on the page doesn't match our
expectations, it must be there is an unknown user concurrently interested
in the page, and so it's not safe to move the contents elsewhere.
However, the unaccounted pins are likely an ephemeral state.
In such a situation, make MADV_COLLAPSE set EAGAIN errno, indicating that
collapse may succeed on retry.
