[PATCH v4 2/2] mm, thp: bail out early in collapse_file for writeback page

From: Rongwei Wang
Date: Sun Oct 10 2021 - 22:25:21 EST


Currently collapse_file does not explicitly check PG_writeback, instead,
page_has_private and try_to_release_page are used to filter writeback
pages. This does not work for xfs with blocksize equal to or larger
than pagesize, because in such case xfs has no page->private.

This makes collapse_file bail out early for writeback page. Otherwise,
xfs end_page_writeback will panic as follows.
