Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix the race between collapse and PT_RECLAIM under per-vma lock

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>

The check_pmd_still_valid() call during collapse is currently only
protected by the mmap_lock in write mode, which was sufficient when
pt_reclaim always ran under mmap_lock in read mode. However, since
madvise_dontneed can now execute under a per-VMA lock, this assumption
is no longer valid. As a result, a race condition can occur between
collapse and PT_RECLAIM, potentially leading to a kernel panic.

This patch moves the vma_start_write() call to precede
check_pmd_still_valid(), ensuring that the check is also properly
protected by the per-VMA lock.
