Subject: [PATCH v5 02/14] mm: shmem: shmem_getattr(): set blksize to highest supported THP order
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 10:55:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e8e07851283c47a07a52d342afc60c19fe2b0421.1780066530.git.luizcap@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1780066530.git.luizcap@redhat.com>
Today, shmem_getattr() sets stat->blksize to PMD size whenever
shmem_huge_global_enabled() returns non-zero. While this works fine
for the normal THP-enabled case as explained by Baolin in [1], this
has two problems:
1. Theoretically, when shmem is configured for within_size, this
could set blksize to PMD size even though the allocation may
be a smaller mTHP order
2. A future commit will allow shmem THP support to be enabled
even when the CPU doesn't support PMD-sized pages. We should
not allow blksize to be set to PMD size in this case
In order to fix #1 and prepare for #2, this commit sets blksize
to the size of the highest supported order returned by
shmem_huge_global_enabled().
