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.

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.
