commit 93b0d9178743a68723babe8448981f658aebc58e upstream.
mfill_atomic_install_pte() checks page->mapping to detect whether one page is used in the page cache. However as pointed out by Matthew, the page can logically be a tail page rather than always the head in the case of uffd minor mode with UFFDIO_CONTINUE. It means we could wrongly install one pte with shmem thp tail page assuming it's an anonymous page.
It's not that clear even for anonymous page, since normally anonymous pages also have page->mapping being setup with the anon vma. It's safe here only because the only such caller to mfill_atomic_install_pte() is always passing in a newly allocated page (mcopy_atomic_pte()), whose page->mapping is not yet setup. However that's not extremely obvious either.
For either of above, use page_mapping() instead.
