[PATCH] mm/khugepaged: fix iteration in collapse_file

From: David Stevens
Date: Wed Jun 07 2023 - 01:32:00 EST


From: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove an unnecessary call to xas_set(index) when iterating over the
target range in collapse_file. The extra call to xas_set reset the xas
cursor to the top of the tree, causing the xas_next call on the next
iteration to walk the tree to index instead of advancing to index+1.
This returned the same page again, which would cause collapse_file to
fail because the page is already locked.

This bug was hidden when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was set. When that config was
used, the xas_load in a subsequent VM_BUG_ON assert would walk xas from
the top of the tree to index, causing the xas_next call on the next loop
iteration to advance the cursor as expected.
