The problem is actually from HPAGE_CACHE_INDEX_MASK, it is marked as
build bug when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PAGECACHE is false. So we
either wrap some logic inside a inline function, or we have to be like
this .. Or we don't treat the HPAGE_CACHE_INDEX_MASK as a build bug?

The truncate between tmpfs and general one is similar but not exactly
the same (no readahead), so share the whole function might not be a
good choice from the perspective of tmpfs? Anyway, there are other
similar functions in tmpfs, e.g. the one you mentioned for
shmem_add_to_page_cache. It is possible to share the code, I am just
worried it will make the logic more complicated?

Maybe Hugh is in better position to judge on this? Thanks!
