[PATCH v8 03/15] khugepaged: generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate for mTHP support

From: Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com>
Date: 2025-07-02 05:59:24
Also in: linux-doc, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - thp (transparent huge page), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

For khugepaged to support different mTHP orders, we must generalize this
to check if the PMD is not shared by another VMA and the order is enabled.

To ensure madvise_collapse can support working on mTHP orders without the
PMD order enabled, we need to convert hugepage_vma_revalidate to take a
bitmap of orders.

No functional change in this patch.
