This one's still niggling at me. I've trimmed the timestamps and some
of the other irrelevant stuff out of this to make it easier to read.

Notionally I understand this. This is page->flags and the PG_locked bit
was set initially, but after a short delay PG_locked was cleared and
PG_uptodate was set. That's _normal_. For many, many pages, we set the
locked bit, initiate a read; the device does a DMA, sends an interrupt;
the interrupt handler sets the PG_uptodate bit and clears the PG_locked
bit to indicate the page is no longer under I/O.
But what I don't understand is how we see this for _this_ page.

This is the interrupt handler. It's doing what it's supposed to;
marking the page uptodate and unlocking it.

This is the part I don't understand. The path to calling
folio_add_lru_vma() comes directly from vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio():
folio = vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio(vma, vmf->address);
if (!folio)
goto oom;
if (mem_cgroup_charge(folio, vma->vm_mm, GFP_KERNEL))
goto oom_free_page;
folio_throttle_swaprate(folio, GFP_KERNEL);
__folio_mark_uptodate(folio);
entry = mk_pte(&folio->page, vma->vm_page_prot);
entry = pte_sw_mkyoung(entry);
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)
entry = pte_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry));
vmf->pte = pte_offset_map_lock(vma->vm_mm, vmf->pmd, vmf->address,
&vmf->ptl);
if (!vmf->pte)
goto release;
if (vmf_pte_changed(vmf)) {
update_mmu_tlb(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte);
goto release;
}
ret = check_stable_address_space(vma->vm_mm);
if (ret)
goto release;
/* Deliver the page fault to userland, check inside PT lock */
if (userfaultfd_missing(vma)) {
pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);
folio_put(folio);
return handle_userfault(vmf, VM_UFFD_MISSING);
}
inc_mm_counter(vma->vm_mm, MM_ANONPAGES);
folio_add_new_anon_rmap(folio, vma, vmf->address);
folio_add_lru_vma(folio, vma);
(sorry that's a lot of lines). But there's _nowhere_ there that sets
PG_locked. It's a freshly allocated page; all page flags (that are
actually flags; ignore the stuff up at the top) should be clear. We
even check that with PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP. Plus, it doesn't
make sense that we'd start I/O; the page is freshly allocated, full of
zeroes; there's no backing store to read the page from.
It really feels like this page was freed while it was still under I/O
and it's been reallocated to this victim process.
I'm going to try a few things and see if I can figure this out.
