From 06a5e1268a5fb9c2b346a3da6b97e85f2eba0f07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:10:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() do not crash on Compound collapse_shmem()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTransCompound) was unsafe: before it holds page lock of the first page, racing truncation then extension might conceivably have inserted a hugepage there already. Fail with the SCAN_PAGE_COMPOUND result, instead of crashing (CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) or otherwise mishandling the unexpected hugepage - though later we might code up a more constructive way of handling it, with SCAN_SUCCESS.
