There is no xas_pause(&xas) in collapse_file()'s main loop, at the points
where it does xas_unlock_irq(&xas) and then continues.
That would explain why, once two weeks ago and twice yesterday, I have
hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page != xas_load(&xas), page) since "mm/khugepaged:
fix iteration in collapse_file" removed the xas_set(&xas, index) just
before it: xas.xa_node could be left pointing to a stale node, if there
was concurrent activity on the file which transformed its xarray.
I tried inserting xas_pause()s, but then even bootup crashed on that
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(): there appears to be a subtle "nextness" implicit in
xas_pause().
xas_next() and xas_pause() are good for use in simple loops, but not in
this one: xas_set() worked well until now, so use xas_set(&xas, index)
explicitly at the head of the loop; and change that VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() not
to need its own xas_set(), and not to interfere with the xa_state (which
would probably stop the crashes from xas_pause(), but I trust that less).
The user-visible effects of this bug (if VM_BUG_ONs are configured out)
would be data loss and data leak - potentially - though in practice I
expect it is more likely that a subsequent check (e.g. on mapping or on
nr_none) would notice an inconsistency, and just abandon the collapse.

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.
