Song Liu 4655e5e5f3 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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
