I tried this and it's triggered by generic/418. The problem
is that it's called when the pagecache lock isn't held (by
invalidate_inode_pages2_range), so it's possible for xa_empty() to
return true, then a page be added to the page cache, and mapping->pages
be incremented to 1. That seems to be what's happened here:
(gdb) p/x *(struct address_space *)0xffff88804b21b360
$2 = {host = 0xffff88804b21b200, i_pages = {xa_lock = {{rlock = {raw_lock = {{
val = {counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0, pending = 0x0}, {
locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}}}}, xa_flags = 0x21,
* xa_head = 0xffffea0001e187c0}, gfp_mask = 0x100c4a, i_mmap_writable = {
counter = 0x0}, nr_thps = {counter = 0x0}, i_mmap = {rb_root = {
rb_node = 0x0}, rb_leftmost = 0x0}, i_mmap_rwsem = {count = {
counter = 0x0}, owner = {counter = 0x0}, osq = {tail = {counter = 0x0}},
wait_lock = {raw_lock = {{val = {counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0,
pending = 0x0}, {locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}},
wait_list = {next = 0xffff88804b21b3b0, prev = 0xffff88804b21b3b0}},
* nrpages = 0x1, writeback_index = 0x0, a_ops = 0xffffffff81c2ed60,
flags = 0x40, wb_err = 0x0, private_lock = {{rlock = {raw_lock = {{val = {
counter = 0x0}, {locked = 0x0, pending = 0x0}, {
locked_pending = 0x0, tail = 0x0}}}}}}, private_list = {
next = 0xffff88804b21b3e8, prev = 0xffff88804b21b3e8}, private_data = 0x0}
(marked the critical lines with *)
