mm: fix page_vma_mapped_walk() for ksm pages
Doug Smythies reports oops with KSM in this backtrace, I've been seeing the same: page_vma_mapped_walk+0xe6/0x5b0 page_referenced_one+0x91/0x1a0 rmap_walk_ksm+0x100/0x190 rmap_walk+0x4f/0x60 page_referenced+0x149/0x170 shrink_active_list+0x1c2/0x430 shrink_node_memcg+0x67a/0x7a0 shrink_node+0xe1/0x320 kswapd+0x34b/0x720 Just as observed in commit 4b0ece6fa016 ("mm: migrate: fix remove_migration_pte() for ksm pages"), you cannot use page->index calculations on ksm pages. page_vma_mapped_walk() is relying on __vma_address(), where a ksm page can lead it off the end of the page table, and into whatever nonsense is in the next page, ending as an oops inside check_pte()'s pte_page(). KSM tells page_vma_mapped_walk() exactly where to look for the page, it does not need any page->index calculation: and that's so also for all the normal and file and anon pages - just not for THPs and their subpages. Get out early in most cases: instead of a PageKsm test, move down the earlier not-THP-page test, as suggested by Kirill. I'm also slightly worried that this loop can stray into other vmas, so added a vm_end test to prevent surprises; though I have not imagined anything worse than a very contrived case, in which a page mlocked in the next vma might be reclaimed because it is not mlocked in this vma.
