commit dd47ac428c3f5f3bcabe845f36be870fe6c20784 upstream.
Khugepaged collapse an anonymous thp in two rounds of scans. The 2nd round done in __collapse_huge_page_isolate() after hpage_collapse_scan_pmd(), during which all the locks will be released temporarily. It means the pgtable can change during this phase before 2nd round starts.
It's logically possible some ptes got wr-protected during this phase, and we can errornously collapse a thp without noticing some ptes are wr-protected by userfault. e1e267c7928f wanted to avoid it but it only did that for the 1st phase, not the 2nd phase.
Since __collapse_huge_page_isolate() happens after a round of small page swapins, we don't need to worry on any !present ptes - if it existed khugepaged will already bail out. So we only need to check present ptes with uffd-wp bit set there.
This is something I found only but never had a reproducer, I thought it was one caused a bug in Muhammad's recent pagemap new ioctl work, but it turns out it's not the cause of that but an userspace bug. However this seems to still be a real bug even with a very small race window, still worth to have it fixed and copy stable.
