mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() do not crash on Compound

Hugh Dickins · torvalds · commit 06a5e1268a5f · 2018-11-30T14:56:15.000-08:00
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.
