Commit 249608ee4713 ("mm: respect mmap hint address when aligning for THP") fallsback to PAGE_SIZE alignment instead of THP alignment for anonymous mapping as long as a hint address is provided by the user -- even if we weren't able to allocate the unmapped area at the hint address in the end. This was done to address the immediate regression in anonymous mappings where the hint address were being ignored in some cases; due to commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries"). It was later pointed out that this issue also existed for file-backed mappings from file systems that use thp_get_unmapped_area() for their .get_unmapped_area() file operation. The same fix was not applied for file-backed mappings since it would mean any mmap requests that provide a hint address would be only PAGE_SIZE-aligned regardless of whether allocation was successful at the hint address or not. Instead, use arch_mmap_hint() to first attempt allocation at the hint address and fallback to THP alignment if that fails.
