Subject: [PATCH v8 07/14] mm: shmem: allow THP support determination at folio allocation time
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:45:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f74ada750d1910f8ea7e55955eb0c330747b93d4.1789695931.git.luizcap@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1789695931.git.luizcap@redhat.com>

In order to enable THP support in shmem today, besides the user
configuration required, the CPU must support PMD-sized pages. This
is the case because of the following has_transparent_hugepage()
usage:

- shmem_parse_one() and shmem_parse_huge(): Check if THP is built-in and
  if the CPU supports PMD-sized pages

- shmem_init(): Since the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE guard is outside
  the code block calling has_transparent_hugepage(), the
  has_transparent_hugepage() call is exclusively checking if the CPU
  supports PMD-sized pages

While it's necessary to check if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled
in all cases, shmem can determine THP size support at folio allocation
time. Therefore, drop the has_transparent_hugepage() usage listed above
while keeping the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE checks.

Additionally, we need to check if PMD size order is supported in
shmem_getattr(). Use pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() for that.
