------------------------------------------------------ From: Rongwei Wang rongwei.wang@linux.alibaba.com Subject: mm, thp: bail out early in collapse_file for writeback page
Currently collapse_file does not explicitly check PG_writeback, instead, page_has_private and try_to_release_page are used to filter writeback pages. This does not work for xfs with blocksize equal to or larger than pagesize, because in such case xfs has no page->private.
This makes collapse_file bail out early for writeback page. Otherwise, xfs end_page_writeback will panic as follows.
