khugepaged has to drop mmap lock several times while collapsing a page. The situation can change while the lock is dropped and we need to re-validate that the VMA is still in place and the PMD is still subject for collapse. But we miss one corner case: while collapsing an anonymous pages the VMA could be replaced with file VMA. If the file VMA doesn't have any private pages we get NULL pointer dereference: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] anon_vma_lock_write include/linux/rmap.h:120 [inline] collapse_huge_page mm/khugepaged.c:1110 [inline] khugepaged_scan_pmd mm/khugepaged.c:1349 [inline] khugepaged_scan_mm_slot mm/khugepaged.c:2110 [inline] khugepaged_do_scan mm/khugepaged.c:2193 [inline] khugepaged+0x3bba/0x5a10 mm/khugepaged.c:2238 The fix is to make sure that the VMA is anonymous in hugepage_vma_revalidate(). The helper is only used for collapsing anonymous pages.

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.
