Looking further, these shmem_huge handlings only check pre-
conditions.  So, we should be able to make shmem_get_unmapped
_are a() as a wrapper, which checks such shmem-specific
conitions, and then call __thp_get_unmapped_area() for the
actual work.  All DAX-specific checks are performed in
thp_get_unmapped_area() as well.  We can make
 __thp_get_unmapped_area() as a common
function.

I'd prefer to make such change as a separate item,
Do you have plan to submit such change?
Yes, I will submit the change once I finish testing.
I found a bug in the current code, and need some clarification.
 The if-statement below is reverted.
<two-hands-facepalm>

Yeah. It was repored by Hillf[1]. The fixup got lost. :(

Could you post a proper patch with the fix?

I would be nice to credit Hillf there too.

Yes, I will submit the fix as well.

I will not change the default value of sbinfo->huge in this fix.  So,
user will have to specify "huge=" option to enable huge page mappings.
 If this is not desireable, we will need a separate patch.

Thanks,
