Is this the

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(atomic_read(&page_tail->_mapcount) != -1, page_tail);

assertion?

Hi David,

You can check the sources for that revision, but on the dashboard
there are clickable links for all source references:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=273b547b15eb58ea35e8

In this case it points to:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/huge_memory.c?id=4da34b7d175dc99b8befebd69e96546c960d526c#n2465


Ah, thanks!

... so

if (!folio_test_swapcache(page_folio(head))) {
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE(page_tail->private != 0, head);
page_tail->private = 0;
}

I recall that there was a patch either from Hugh or Mel floating around that might be related.
