Subject: mm/khugepaged: use VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO instead of VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO for non-anon folios
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 12:37:47 +0800
As Zi pointed out, we should avoid crashing the kernel for conditions that
can be handled gracefully. Encountering a non-anonymous folio in an
anonymous VMA is a bug, but a warning is sufficient.
This patch changes the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_anon(folio)) to a
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() in both __collapse_huge_page_isolate() and
hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), and then aborts the scan with SCAN_PAGE_ANON.
Making more of the scanning logic common between hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
and __collapse_huge_page_isolate(), as suggested by Dev.
