Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] mm/khugepaged: maintain page cache uptodate flag
Date:   Tue,  7 Mar 2023 14:20:36 +0900

From: David Stevens <stevensd@chromium.org>

Make sure that collapse_file doesn't interfere with checking the
uptodate flag in the page cache by only inserting hpage into the page
cache after it has been updated and marked uptodate. This is achieved by
simply not replacing present pages with hpage when iterating over the
target range. The present pages are already locked, so replacing the
with the locked hpage before the collapse is finalized is unnecessary.

This fixes a race where folio_seek_hole_data would mistake hpage for
an fallocated but unwritten page. This race is visible to userspace via
data temporarily disappearing from SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE.

Fixes: f3f0e1d2150b ("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages")
