Sorry I don't have the context of the original post, but this seems odd to me,
given that MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER is defined as HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (unless you changed
this in an earlier patch in the series?)

at least v6.10-rc4 has:

#ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
#define MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER	HPAGE_PMD_ORDER
#else
#define MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER	8
#endif

I'll take your word for that. If correct, then I agree we should change this.
Note that arm64 doesn't support PUD THP mappings at all.

Shouldn't this be ">="? (assuming MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER is now defined
independently of PMD_ORDER, as per above).

Although Gavin's commit log only mentions shmem as being a problem with really
big PMD. Is it also a problem for regular files?

And I think this needs to include THP_ORDERS_ALL_DAX so that THPeligible in
show_smap() continues to work for DAX VMAs?
