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.

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.
