[PATCH 6.4 24/28] mm/khugepaged: fix regression in collapse_file()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>

commit e8c716bc6812202ccf4ce0f0bad3428b794fb39c upstream.

There is no xas_pause(&xas) in collapse_file()'s main loop, at the points
where it does xas_unlock_irq(&xas) and then continues.

That would explain why, once two weeks ago and twice yesterday, I have
hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page != xas_load(&xas), page) since "mm/khugepaged:
fix iteration in collapse_file" removed the xas_set(&xas, index) just
before it: xas.xa_node could be left pointing to a stale node, if there
was concurrent activity on the file which transformed its xarray.

I tried inserting xas_pause()s, but then even bootup crashed on that
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): there appears to be a subtle "nextness" implicit in
xas_pause().

xas_next() and xas_pause() are good for use in simple loops, but not in
this one: xas_set() worked well until now, so use xas_set(&xas, index)
explicitly at the head of the loop; and change that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() not
to need its own xas_set(), and not to interfere with the xa_state (which
would probably stop the crashes from xas_pause(), but I trust that less).

The user-visible effects of this bug (if VM_BUG_ONs are configured out)
would be data loss and data leak - potentially - though in practice I
expect it is more likely that a subsequent check (e.g. on mapping or on
nr_none) would notice an inconsistency, and just abandon the collapse.
