Add large folio support for tmpfs write and fallocate paths matching the
same high order preference mechanism used in the iomap buffered IO path
as used in __filemap_get_folio().
Add shmem_mapping_size_orders() to get a hint for the orders of the folio
based on the file size which takes care of the mapping requirements.
Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized huge folios. However nowadays
with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and extending
anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to allocating only
PMD-sized huge folios, making it more special. Instead, we should allow
tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios.
Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the huge
folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized huge
folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option are:
huge=never: no any sized huge folios
huge=always: any sized huge folios
huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size
huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with fadvise()/madvise()
Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still
allocate the PMD-sized huge folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is set.
Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same
semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while
the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.
