Since commit5abc1e37af("mm: list_lru: allocate list_lru_one only when needed"), all list_lru users need to allocate the items using the new infrastructure that provides list_lru info for slab allocation, ensuring that the corresponding memcg list_lru is allocated before use. For workingset shadow nodes (which are xa_node), users are converted to use the new infrastructure by commit9bbdc0f324("xarray: use kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate xa_node"). The xas->xa_lru will be set correctly for filemap users. However, there is a missing case: xa_node allocations caused by madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE). madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE) will also read in the absent parts of file map, and there will be xa_nodes allocated for the caller's memcg (assuming it's not rootcg). However, these allocations won't trigger memcg list_lru allocation because the proper xas info was not set. If nothing else has allocated other xa_nodes for that memcg to trigger list_lru creation, and memory pressure starts to evict file pages, workingset_update_node will try to add these xa_nodes to their corresponding memcg list_lru, and it does not exist (NULL). So they will be added to rootcg's list_lru instead. This shouldn't be a significant issue in practice, but it is indeed unexpected behavior, and these xa_nodes will not be reclaimed effectively. And may lead to incorrect counting of the list_lru->nr_items counter. This problem wasn't exposed until recent commit28e98022b3("mm/list_lru: simplify reparenting and initial allocation") added a sanity check: only dying memcg could have a NULL list_lru when list_lru_{add,del} is called. This problem triggered this WARNING. So make madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE) also call xas_set_lru() to pass the list_lru which we may want to insert xa_node into later. And move mapping_set_update to mm/internal.h, and turn into a macro to avoid including extra headers in mm/internal.h.

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 reStructuredText 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.
