Zach O'Keefe fd71c8d3b0 mm/MADV_COLLAPSE: set EAGAIN on unexpected page refcount 
commit ae63c898f4 upstream.

During collapse, in a few places we check to see if a given small page has
any unaccounted references.  If the refcount on the page doesn't match our
expectations, it must be there is an unknown user concurrently interested
in the page, and so it's not safe to move the contents elsewhere.
However, the unaccounted pins are likely an ephemeral state.

In this situation, MADV_COLLAPSE returns -EINVAL when it should return
-EAGAIN.  This could cause userspace to conclude that the syscall
failed, when it in fact could succeed by retrying.

README 

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.
