This commit fixes this by allowing mTHP to be always enabled for all archs. When PMD-sized pages are not supported, its sysfs entry won't be created and their mapping will be disallowed at page-fault time. Similarly, this commit implements the following changes for shmem: - In shmem_allowable_huge_orders(): drop the pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() check so that mTHP sizes are considered - In shmem_alloc_and_add_folio(): don't consider PMD and PUD orders when PMD-sized pages are not supported by the CPU Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino --- mm/huge_memory.c | 11 +++++++---- mm/shmem.c | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/huge_memory.c b/mm/huge_memory.c index 1e5ea2e47f79..882331592928 100644 --- a/mm/huge_memory.c +++ b/mm/huge_memory.c @@ -115,6 +115,9 @@ unsigned long __thp_vma_allowable_orders(struct vm_area= _struct *vma, else supported_orders =3D THP_ORDERS_ALL_FILE_DEFAULT; =20 + if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()) + supported_orders &=3D ~(BIT(PMD_ORDER) | BIT(PUD_ORDER)); + orders &=3D supported_orders; if (!orders) return 0; @@ -122,7 +125,7 @@ unsigned long __thp_vma_allowable_orders(struct vm_area= _struct *vma, if (!vma->vm_mm) /* vdso */ return 0; =20 - if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() || vma_thp_disabled(vma, vm_flags, forced_c= ollapse)) + if (vma_thp_disabled(vma, vm_flags, forced_collapse)) return 0; =20 /* khugepaged doesn't collapse DAX vma, but page fault is fine. */ @@ -806,6 +809,9 @@ static int __init hugepage_init_sysfs(struct kobject **= hugepage_kobj) } =20 orders =3D THP_ORDERS_ALL_ANON | THP_ORDERS_ALL_FILE_DEFAULT; + if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()) + orders &=3D ~(BIT(PMD_ORDER) | BIT(PUD_ORDER)); + order =3D highest_order(orders); while (orders) { thpsize =3D thpsize_create(order, *hugepage_kobj); @@ -905,9 +911,6 @@ static int __init hugepage_init(void) int err; struct kobject *hugepage_kobj; =20 - if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()) - return -EINVAL; - /* * hugepages can't be allocated by the buddy allocator */ diff --git a/mm/shmem.c b/mm/shmem.c index 1c98e84667a4..cb325d1e2d1e 100644 --- a/mm/shmem.c +++ b/mm/shmem.c @@ -1827,7 +1827,7 @@ unsigned long shmem_allowable_huge_orders(struct inod= e *inode, vm_flags_t vm_flags =3D vma ? vma->vm_flags : 0; unsigned int global_orders; =20 - if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() || (vma && vma_thp_disabled(vma, vm_flags, = shmem_huge_force))) + if (vma && vma_thp_disabled(vma, vm_flags, shmem_huge_force)) return 0; =20 global_orders =3D shmem_huge_global_enabled(inode, index, write_end, @@ -1935,6 +1935,8 @@ static struct folio *shmem_alloc_and_add_folio(struct= vm_fault *vmf, =20 if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE)) orders =3D 0; + else if (!pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()) + orders &=3D ~(BIT(PMD_ORDER) | BIT(PUD_ORDER)); =20 if (orders > 0) { suitable_orders =3D shmem_suitable_orders(inode, vmf, --=20 2.53.0
