[PATCH 5.4 099/142] mm,thp: stop leaking unreleased file pages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 01 2020 - 14:09:54 EST


From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2f33a706027c94cd4f70fcd3e3f4a17c1ce4ea4b ]

When collapse_file() calls try_to_release_page(), it has already isolated
the page: so if releasing buffers happens to fail (as it sometimes does),
remember to putback_lru_page(): otherwise that page is left unreclaimable
and unfreeable, and the file extent uncollapsible.
